ok, i'm slowly learning on how to get the good times at the track. but i'm now getting into setting up the suspension. however i need a happy medium with a street car and a drag car. currently i have the i guess is useless 620 springs up front. they ride really well around town with the big pig 460 and i have minimal nose dive under hard braking.
some guys are putting 6cyl springs with the weight of a 460 so the ride height is good and still has the suspension travel upfront. i'm not quite understanding the suspension travel up front thing. but all i'm getting is guy go with springs that actually need to be compressed alot like factory and not like my 620 springs that barely need to be compressed because it has so many less coils.
so there goes with the whole spring thing (i'd still like to have a 1 inch lowered stance) people always talk about adjustable shocks. and the shocks being really stiff up front i think. why would you need adjustable shocks?
in the rear i have 5 leaf springs with the factory spaghetti 1/2 swaybar (might be removing to fit a fatter wheel). i'm utilizing subframe connectors. i have some competition engineering slapper bars on order and should be here tomorrow.
