  • Installing drag launch springs.

    Any input is needed, the car is down and i cannot get the springs in. maximum motorsports has a install kit. I ordered it and will have to wait, in the meantime, you guys know any tricks?

        I did it once on a car that the motor wasn't in the car. By far the hardest job I have ever done.

              Success, the ratchet straps worked out great. a bit nerve racking. And i also made a bracket to push spring into cup as you lift arm. worked great.
