This was with a bone stock tranny. The G-Force just came in to Ray's shop on friday afternoon. Ari is sending the bellhousing, clutch, starter and all the other misc things I'll need this week. G-Force goes in next week! After I get my fenders rolled, BIG TIME, lol....she's gonna fly.

Thanks guys. I actually went simple with the suspension and went back to what worked on my red FD when I cut 1.50 60''s all day. (Eibach springs and Koni's) Now Im doing 1.4's, lol.
Cris,
The car was robbed of power big time all day. My tires were rubbing so bad on the outside of the fender my mph was down 10mph. As soon as I get a smaller spacer to tuck the tire in more, I'll be good to go.

Are the tires rubbing on the edge of the fender or are they touching the inside on the top of the wheel tub?
I always have problems with lowered FD's touching the top of the tub.

The fenders are rubbing the outside sidewall of the tire. They pushed down into the side. It was so bad that people started to warn me about the possibility of blowing out the tires.
