Suspension guys.. need your help.
I'm finaly gonna start with some serious mods. I'll be going with a Heads and cam package in the next 2 months, so i want to be able to get all of this stuff to the ground. The car is an 01 SLP Firehawk M6. It came with a handeling suspension package from bilstien from the factory, but i want more. I heard about some drag racing shocks that take around 90 pounds to lift the front shocks, and like 200 pounds to press them back down. You guys know what I'm talking about? I saw a Camaro going down the strip that launched like it was gonna run low 11's, then when it shifted into second it jumped hard again but it only busted off like a 12.70 or so. Just wondering more about those shocks. How much can i get some for (front and diffrent settings for the rear of course) what company makes them.. and how would they be on the street? My car will be a garage queen so it wont see road time but maybe 2-3 times a week IF THAT. Thanks guys for the help

They obviously aren't that helpful since that camaro you mentioned only ran a 12.70 which isn't far from what these cars will do right off the showroom floor.

90/10 shocks are for drag racing only. you want some adjustable shocks like HAL's. Although, I'd do some research because the rear HAL's suck IMO.
Hope you have a good clutch and 12-bolt to go with that combo too.
