camaro9969 are you running any rear drag shocks? or still on stock ones. If so what kind, reason i ask is when i installed the fronts it just let me know how weak the back ones were, so i need to invest in some rears now, was thinking about viking or strange

Good stuff right there!

Give me a call when you are ready for the rears. You know I will give you the best deal and the best advice on tuning.

Ya the rear DA Shocks will keep my car from coming up but i will see how much more i can get out of it with this set up. Really surprised to be honest considering what i have back there.
Just got one of your Tubular K Members on a trade so i'm taking a few pounds off the front.

Finally got it to the track. Settings were 2 rebound and 12 compression and 5 on the SA in the rear.

They have been great. I still need rear shocks but that's next on the list when the snow is gone.
What do you mean how low? You mean ride height?
