Re: Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA
 

I had asked about the strut rod conversion for stockers several years ago. I saw that there were some nice kits for Mustangs out there and it looked like a good idea. I was told that it was ok for SuperStock, but not stock. I could see that at the time so I dropped the idea.

I really don't see any reason that a SSer would be denied this at all. I bet this decision was more political than logical.

Since they allowed the bump steer kits in stock, I would say that this is something that could be revisited to allow in Stock and SS.

Maybe it would be a good idea for anyone with a dog in the hunt to e mail NHRA tech to ask them to politely reconsider.

I'm not sure if we got 'reconsideration', but I think we got some time for maybe, possibly, could be, rethinking and relooking. Are those words?

I was thinking the same thing, someone should email them those photos posted earlier along with an explainion of whats happening ASAP...that frontend movement looks scary.

SSDiv6...who makes those neat "bushings" you pictured for a 66 Chevy II...are those legal?

This is all bs imo.

If you are looking at the lower control arm they are global west. There camber adjuster kit along with bearing kit are the only way to go on the shoebox novas. I can see it now after speeding days trying to get your front end to work NHRA tells you take it apart so they can look at it. Tom

Any update on this??

Trying to decide what I want to do next year...

I have them in both of our cars, and am not sure I want to send my wife down the track without them.

Absolutely no performance advantage. I've got shocks almost at max adjustment to keep front end down.

Might be time to find something else to do...

Brad,
You have a PM.

I also didn't realize why my old super street mustang would be a handful sometimes on braking after a run. I moved up to a super gas tube frame car and it was rock solid.
I'm currently building (or trying) a '67 Shelby and I don't want to use the factory rubber bushings.
What about if we all said NO!
I seem to remember a muffler rule that came and went pretty quick.

Do you have Control Arm Bumpers?
