Calder is also a much better track
I checked in to Heathcote just then and its $60 for Driver & Car + $20 per person. Where is WSID??
Calder I is $65 + $25 per person. Thanks for your help.

You want a high profile so the tyre can squat down when loading the drivetrain prior to launch. This is very important.
Keep the high, soft rear springs/shocks in too. Another trick is disconnecting the right front sway bar link.

Thanks, Did you mean keep the standard standard Rear suspension because the car has ben fitted with Pedders XA Adjustable Coilovers all around. So if I set the rear to super soft and the fronts to firm I should be ok? Do I still run the front psi firm or 20 also?

I used the Toyo TQ drag radials recently at the Nulon nationals last weekend, and they hooked up quite well.
Cool, How did you go?

I live 2 hours from Melb and Heathcote so traveling time is the same.
But cheers guys!
Anyone know of a good priced set of BA-BF XR 17's rims and tyres for sale?
Or can i use FG Rims also?
Cheers
