wondering if these things really work. my car runs 1.58-1.60 60 foots, squats down in the back that it looks like the quater panels touch my 26 inch tall tires. they say they help anti squat. who is running them? do u think they would make my 60 foots faster?

you don't want the rear to squat ever. In fact if it lifts up and creates more wheel gap that is better.

EXACTLY! While the squat appears to be what you want, it is actually the OPPOSITE!

Look at the dynamics...

If the car squats, that means the car is PULLING the rear end up, creating the squat, LESSENIG traction.

Whereas, LIFTING the car, the rear end is being PUSHED DOWN, creating MORE traction.

I used to know a car that, when he shifted, the rear would lift, wiggle, then set down, until the next shift...lift, wiggle, settle. That is what got me into looking into the dynamics and cause of everything.
