Another drag setup question
#16
define "dead hook" too..... as in you want to punch it from a dead idle/stop and want it to hook? your ideal launch from a m6 is just a little bit of wheel spin.
first thing i would do is ditch the lca's and rear shocks. the stock lca's are very flimsy and shocks is the key element in suspension.
I honestly don't think a tubular k member shouldn't be on your shopping list at the moment. that money can be spent elsewhere and get better results. if you want that weight reduction, take out the front bumper supports... it's free and saves just as much weight. just hope you dont get in a front end collision

i honestly think you would benefit more from a drag bar than an air bag. from what I'm told/gathered an air bag is just a "band-aid" instead of a drag bar. The drag bar allows you to preload both sides of the rear suspension, as well as minimize body flex (which judging from your pic, you are suffering from). That and a drag bar you just dial in once and your set, an air bag you are constantly adjusting.
Post some 60' times after you do some suspension mods. I'd like to see how well the car improves.

I agree a drag bar would be best, but no harm in starting off with the air-bag to see if it helps. It's fairly cheap compared to a drag bar. Just putting the Spohn adj. TA on would greatly change how the car launches. You will have less squat and more force planting the tires.

drag bar isn't that bad. you get a little bit more over steer (if you don't carve corners, you probably won't notice) and the qa1 joints are a little bit noisey sometimes, but you will have that will all qa1 joints (i.e. lcas, phb, torque arm, etc).
I daily drive mine with a drag bar and no front sway bar.
