No it dosent sound stupid at all When i say the brackets will bend i mean the control staps that pull the shock closed.You no the thin bands of metal that run paralle with the shock?Iam just going from expereance from messing around with my 3 srxs for ten years now.I think i have bent busted or broken every thing you could possaby do with over 30.000 klm on the 98.

Sounds like you have tried what i am talking about then.I Actually have a viper but sounds like a bad idea either way.I know the viper has a longer travel but im sure it would do the same thing.I was just looking to get the best drag set up as possible.
 
There is lots of differant opinions.I set up for lots of transfer [with my trail setup for raceing]If you are looking at setting up a race sled you would want less transfer good race picks and lower the sled by backing the springs right off.
 
I'm just looking for a hole shot I get beat out of the hole by a 340 for the first 50 feet all i"m doing is spinning I'm not looking to race it.

I'm looking for a setup that i can pull my trail sled in the garage,change the suspension settings, and then have a sled that would do better racing than it would have with the trail setup.
 
Short rods 11/2 gap bolted front hole.Put fra on bottom.Loosen limiter nuts to top.Tighten front shock spring,Add 48 chisels on outside rows.Tighten seconday 10 degrea.Good clutching without a high engagement.Hold on

Hey dave the track that is on there is a camoplast predator I thought was 1 1/4" maybe it's not itis about 3 years old the studs are 1.375" stainless stud boys I bought it from marshall
 
You can run studs with a 1.25 on a SRX. Opinions vary as to if it is a good idea or not, but I have now ran then on two SRX's without any problems.

That's what I thought but i'm not sure who's right and who's wrong :2strokes:
 
It's not really right or wrong.. I think some just worry that if they ran their track loose....that the studs will hit. I loosen my track until it rachets on good hard pack, and then tighten until it goes away. With that setup there is not a single mark on the front heat exchanger. Works for me.

Your sled looks awsome i've been thinking of widing the front after i get this traction thing figured out.
 
Don't have time to take a look right now.. but here they are for others to see.
