[RICK LAKE]

RET_COP Lou Here is the easy thing to do, The front shocks you will drive on the street with will give you an easier smoooth ride and drive at the track front shocks will have different settings (stiffer). You want the car to squat in the rearend a little when accelling the car. I get about 1-2" drop in the back end. The tires, 335's are not rubbing on the frame or body. This gives me good traction on take off. There is still too much weight transfer on hard braking. I raised the spring rates 30% in front. The easy thing to do is get the car scaled with both sets of front springs and try and keep the car at the same ride height. This way the alignment will not have to be adjusted. Swapping springs will take any where from 3-4 minutes up to 10-15 minutes depending on mounting fasteners. Some guys run quick pins. I stay with aircraft nuts. Rick L Ps IMO unless you are running the same company replica with everything beening equal, You are going to have to street the car, then race it and watch film of it to learn what it is doing on the track. Taking heat temps of the tires is a good place to start. Record all this info and DO ONLY 1 ADJUSTMENT at a time to see if it's better, same or worse. It's alot of work but having a great handling car at the end makes all the trouble worth while.
