I'm sure this has been asked and discussed plenty of times, but i just threw it to the test. Being that I just got my Bwoody springs installed, I wanted to cruise around at moderate to high speeds and see the difference, well its raining and providing some slick surfaces. But I thought well, wet or dry right. Found a wide open parking lot, little to no light poles or concrete markers and I went to town. ESP off and it was really hard to throw the ass end out. It was really quite amazing how well it stuck and pulled. Also did some straight runs, some with a brake stomp and it didnt really feel like I lost traction at all.
Ohh and one other thing, i started with the ESP off and mid donut i try to reach for the ESP button and it was like something was pulling me back. Yup the g made it tougher to reach for the button. Man these things are awesome....
Ok thats all for my blabbing...

Man can't wait to see it did you get the sways on as well I might get some and call on you for help to install them but not sure if I could get my jeep on base or not??? You have lowered your center of gravity and its now a bit more evenly spread out through the jeep so cornering and take offs will be much tighter.
LOL at your sig man I can't take all the credit

No problem, the buddy I had helping me was saying if anyone else around here wanted to do springs and sways we would do it and do a tutorial with it.
Yea we didnt have any issues with the install, just kinda moving **** around thats all....
and I just jacked my own thread. :)

This morning the roads were wet (rained last night) so I was out for a cup of Starbucks and first 2 0-60 runs both were 4.9sec (w/ESP and just a stomp).
Anything over 1200-1300, I got wheelspin and 5.1sec (w/ESP).
So it's possible.

I asked this on the Charger board and received this as a response from the SRT Engineers.

They said to turn off traction control and floor it. I'll have to give that a shot. :D

If you put a 426 then it doesn't matter anymore. TC on or off - wheels spin, not 2 but ALL 4 spin wet or dry.
Traction control on with 3 good size people in the jeep and all 4 wheels spin!

It rained all day today. I did not have a chance to run the Jeep. The traction control was working overtime today. Every time I gave it a little throttle around a corner, it was sliding.
