Sideways Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The threads with the most useful information on these is a few years old- So I figured I'd see if anyone was doing anything new. Apparently these use inverted shocks with the adjustments at the bottom (oh yippee). Now Daves website with the install information has some good ideas to make the rears easily adjustable, but lacks anything on the front. Ive seen a few ideas (JohnC, as always, had one of the best), but not many "heres what I did". So does anyone have any info on this now that these have been out for a couple years? Some pictures would be much more useful as well. I like the idea of this kit, but dont fancy having to do a lot of work to adjust something I feel should be adjustable within 30 seconds (Maybe im just spoiled by my other cars) Other question, is what spring rates is everyone running who has used these? His website says the only rates available are 180, 250, 375, and 500 (Ive asked if others are available- but Dave is notoriously slow in responses haha). I was thinking about using 375 up front and 250 out back, only other suspension mods on the car insist of poly bushings (i know- higher stiction- but better than blown out rubber haha), and a ST sway bar kit (the 1" front and 7/8s rear). The car in question is a 72 with an l28et making in the neighborhood of about 300 whp and about 350 wt. Due to my more aggressive driving style I seem to prefer setups with a smiiidge bit of understeer in them so I can get on the gas more and use it to rotate myself around turns (And no worries- I know these rates are on the stiffer side, support will be added to the car in the form of strut bars and a rear roll bar/welded in place rear strut bar). Any input on these rates, or possibly suggestions (I know- fairly loaded question, but any information is more helpful than none! haha). Id love to hear what others have been selecting and what their impressions are of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
