Yes. They hit the ground a lot when you try to run a rf down type setup.

The bolt for the strut rod @ the frame hits before the crossmember. If your run less than a 350 in the RF you should have an appropriate bump stop/travel limiter in the RF coilover.

ThanksMy blackfront is an 02 and doesn't have raised frame rail or crossmember. Can't say I haven't hit the ground, but hasn't seemed to be a problem. YMMV

Rocket says they still actually sale a lot of them. They recommend 300 rf on slick. I assume that would have to be on smoother track. So if you have tum 350 up to 400. Are the cars really tight on entry. And do they keep a lot of drive in the car? I am running it as a super. Just looking for solid base line.

They were always considered a fling and mash the gas type car. So yeah, tight on entry.
