Need some help dialing in my suspension
Need some help dialing in my suspension My car is a 1996 Camaro
LT1- pretty mild
running 100-125 shot of nitrous
4l60e with yank ss3600
Suspension:
QA1 R w/300lb springs (was running 3 from the most - side)
QA1 SFC
Lakewood rear lower control arms
Control arm relocation brackets (bottom hole)
UMI torque arm relocation cross member (second from top hole)
Mickey Thompson 26/11.5/16 ET Streets
Looking for some input on what I should be using as far as settings go.
I know I need an adjustable TQ arm, it's on the winter to do list

I was able to cut 1.69 60's when it was warmer this summer (mid-upper 80s)
Ran last Saturday and was running .2 slower and only cutting 1.77 60's at best.
These numbers above are on motor, I want to get it right on motor before adding spray.

What is the car doing? Is it spinning or is it bogging that slows the 60ft time. I normally run my relocation brackets in the middle hole for bias ply tires. But that all depends how hard it hits the tires.

An adjustable tunnel mount torque arm and a good set of rear shocks like Afco, Strange, or the new Viking brand will get you setup to be quick and consistent, as well as work with your future upgrades.
I would say that if the suspension is working and the tune is correct you should be going at least 1.5x 60s.

Verdad Gallardo I will definitely keep that in mind. I am not sure I can fit a tunnel mount with my dual exhaust setup.
I do need to get something better then the stock pos though.
What settings would I see best results with my current setup

I used a umi trans crossmember bracket that relocates the torque arm off of the transmission, but leaves it in the same relative location. The car has been low 1.5's on it @ 3900 lbs. Works pretty good and clear my true duals. I think there are better torque arm setups, but that fit my purposes better.
Usually when my car spins. It is from hitting the tire too hard and it bounces causing it too spin. Usually raising the lca's up a hole will help.
