Qualitycraft Racing Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 im gonna be runnin at I-37 and the rules just say they have to be the same height right to left. so they can be different height front to back and i guess any weight all the way around. i will have to run stock shocks though.

BobbyJack Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I run a 12" springs. 900 rf 800 lf 200 lr 175 rr. Our weight is 3300 lbs. I run a "1 sway bar. You might want to run a little heavier spring for the heavier car. jmo. Maybe 13" springs in the rear. My car sets pretty low in rear with the 12s. single pigtail in the rear work fine 5" diameter. front 5 1/2" diameter Bobby Jack. pm if you have questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielsen Motorsports Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 The sway bar will make alittle difference too if you dont run one. Keep that in mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qualitycraft Racing Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 thanks for the replies Bobby ans DMS. so correct me if im wrong, but no sway bar = need a little heavier spring and sway bar = just a little lighter springs ?

Danielsen Motorsports Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 correct, but keep in mind a sway bar can give you alittle more front suspension adjustment for you. However they may complicate it alittle more as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
