You can't change the spring rate by adjusting them, only the ride height and (somewhat) the preload on each wheel.

u must have miss read what he have said, he's gonna get adjustable shocks. so he can stiffen up the dampening on the rear shocks to reduse rear end diving. u can install stiffer springs, but the struts can help as well. but installing just stiffer springs will make the rear end just bouncy.

Hmm...That's the next thing to happen...12's...Ah, yes...one more Drag Event...One more chance to do it right...It WILL run 12's or it WILL blow...Hopefully both

And very nice times!!

Now if I got the Probe at lower elevation...and weighing only 2300lbs...versus the 2900 it does now...

all i took out was the ash tray...

I did take a lot of weight off, I really don't feel like making the huge list right now, but I will eventually. Can't wait for wednesday, hopefully I can break into the 12's. Has anyone hit 12's on the stock motor and a stock/t-bird turbo?

Dude, that would be so awesome if you hit 12's!!!

Seriously, that would be a good one for the record books!

Mazda_MX6_Turbo...Yes...strip job...Fuel Job...Boost...and some giggly juice...

If its that heavy, empty it every once in awhile.

and I don't even smoke...

I am trying to get that harness out for you, I haven't got a chance to take the seat out and unwrap the harness.

I went to the englishtown swap meet and picked up an NPR intercooler,2 more rx7 bbs wheels, and a 16" slimline fan.

No worries; I have lots of patience.
