    Default Back to stock suspension... Still worth going?

    Hey guys. I had to sell my suspension parts, trailing arms and sway bar, due to some personal issues. The DA is looking pretty good tonight and I was thinking about going. Do you think it's worth going on stock suspension parts? It's an hour away so I don't want to drive out there and not get any traction. I am not sure how much those parts actually helped my traction but I wanted to see what your thoughts were before I decided to go. The only reason I want to go out there is to get a personal best so..

    Thanks
    Jon

    In a straight line, I don't think you'll notice much difference.

    It obviously worked out fine, but I went 10's on stock rear everything.
