email me. The way the springs work, if you get YYZ u may not need bags for drag racing. I would certainly try without, the solid load is like 2 x more than the competition or more...it doesnt squat in the back like you are used to seeing . john@powellraceshop.com

ya put the rear springs in so you can read the writing, They will go into the insulators at the rear easier, but other than that, the spring dont care which way is up. At the front its different the diameters are different top and bottom so they can only install one way.

has anyone adjusted the Powergrid end-links to OEM height or to driver preference?

Verdict is in after TOTDv.03 over fast switch backs slow hairpins even a gravel stage, YYZ worked best. That is all....

ya but you said did I not tell anyone, and as Kweenredline and NASKRON did most of the leg work and organization and I chose to go up to the Devil's triangle, and the whole thing was the subject of hundreds of posts on another web site, I am kinda wondering why you would ask if I snuck off without telling anyone lol.
Gloria did have an "outofofficereply" on her email , and we did deliver a few parts down there (free shipping donchaknow?)

But it surely was a blast and Maven went back and redid the Triangle he was so pumped about it....while the rest of us checked out the supply in the beer fridge....
