Ive always thought my car sat a little too high in the front, and sat about right in the rear. The car hooks good now wondering if dropping the front could hurt my traction or weight transfer. I'm thinking no. But not sure.

It may not help or hurt your 60' or et, but I can tell u from experience that it can affect your reaction time. The lower the car is in the front, and depending how hard u launch(whether ur pullin the wheels up or not) will obviously affect when & where ur breakin the beams. And if u lower the front, it may involuntarily raise the back due to changing the weight center of the car. By lowering it, ur putting more weight towards the front.

Good point. I think I'm gonna keep it as is for now.

I would leave it as it is. You put 2" drop spindles in you can say good bye to lifting the front end like you were in the picture there.

The only thing I see that you need to do is clean the rubber off behind the rear tires and maybe a nice tint job. Looks like my last car alot.
