Anyone running slicks that chooses to match height with a skinny up front, I HIGHLY recommend sticking to 27.5 vs a 28. I had a lot of rub with stock

Anyone running slicks that chooses to match height with a skinny up front, I HIGHLY recommend sticking to 27.5 vs a 28.
I had a lot of rub with stock suspension and now with coil overs set pretty tall, and stiff, they rub on any dips or sharp bumps over 10mph. But darn that 28 looks good I definitely snapped another axle roll racing which I believe was due to not torqing the axle nut properly. I was about to buy the 1400hp ones from soho but I couldn’t miss that intake manifold deal. Those are next on the list for sure. Here’s a video of me roll racing a bunch of people on my buddys drag racing channel(hence his hate for rolls) Sorry the quality is pretty rough, I’m just glad to be out driving. The car scoots and boots for sure. I am dead even with a 894whp twin turbo gt350(loaded) and the CtsV from the video is 954 whp.... The Tt coyote destroyed me unfortunately but a visit to Mazworx in due time will solve that. Ignite red is the bees knees, mixed 10 gallons with about 5 of pump e85(e72 was that ecutek was reading before) which brought me right to e84. Need to get a draggy. https://youtu.be/oSpQK_D6nx0 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks to Blue ranger for finding a set of used DSS 1200hp axles on Facebook for me
![]() Question, do y’all think I need to preload these? I know the specialty Z clutch was not meant to be slipped so I’m kinda wondering if clutch drop is going to be ok? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Couldn’t find squat for races in Texas. Cops were insane. Went to a dig spot and ended up snapping something. Not sure if it’s the diff, axle, or driveshaft but I’m gunna find out today.
Thought once I did the axles everything would be good to go but ya I dumped that clutch and something snapped Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well finally got to inspect the car today. It is very weird....
It seems like the driver side axle is stripped out. Almost as if the axle is spinning at the inner joint but not the actual cv joint just the shaft. I jacked the rear end up and it ran through 1st gear with zero noise and didn’t have any drag or anything. Then when I lowered the car it would move forward and back but if I put even a little pressure on the ebrake to have some resistance something just started grinding like hell. It’s almost as if the hub is stripped out but I’m 99% positive it’s not and the axle is just broken. Very strange but I’m going to swap oem axles back on and see what happens. I’m thinking because of the stiffer rear suspension and dumping the clutch it’s just too much for these things. Stock suspension felt so much better under launch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
