dude i went to walmart, bought 2 junior sized footballs for $3.50 each and cut my 60 foot times by .2 seconds. for those who just want some extra performance at the track, these are a great mod

Byou do know a proper set of coilovers for drag racing is almost a 4000.00 set up right? 35.00 for footballs, hmmm, why not try it.

Once I get to the track I inflate them as much as I can.

I had a set of drag bags when I was on Sportlines. They definitely helped to stiffen up the rear of the car. Heard a lot about the footballs from people though. I'm on to coilovers now so my drag bags are laying in the corner still in the springs lol.

make sure your using pewee footballs. I dont even jack up the car anymore you can slip them between the springs without it jacked up.
