The rear suspension is extremely important in getting a car to hook up. One of the issues we had was using old Lakewood slapper bars just wouldn't keep the tires planted.
The car already had frame connectors so we installed a Jegs braced cross members with Competition Engineering 33 inch ladder bars and Competition Engineering floaters. We relocated the shocks and use CE full adjustable shocks set on 50/50.
Did it make a difference? Well, we dropped 1.5 seconds off the 1/4 mile time.
This suspension was done in the driveway to prove
that is could be done in the driveway.
Simple tools, Miller 135 Mig with .030 wire @130amps.
Get a plumb bob and a chalk line and your set to
start making alignment marks and laying it out on the driveway.
