hmmm... thats a good question...

suspension does play a big part in a car's launch and traction... you can have a 1000HP car but without tractions aka suspension parts it would be almost worthless... suspension parts build on each other also... like springs, front an rear STB's, sway bars, etc...

lowering the car is a start, but i wouldnt expect to see crazy 1/4 gains... but if you lower your car u can tell the difference when u take corners faster...

and you have 2" less height of wind resistance. That can't hurt.

reduced the cars squat significantly when launching. less rear end squat = more traction to the front!
