Default Paging Pro Stock John

Heeded your advice on settings on the rear of my A4 99SS concerning Hal shocks. Set D Rear at 6 and P Rear at 9. I have never stiffened the rear as tight before with the rear. This is a totally new approach for me, but I willing to try new things for a better 60'time. As suppose the front end of your car is light such as K Member, upper and lower control arms, skinnies, etc. If it doesn't rain today, I will be running skinnies and slicks at the same time. I am hoping the skinnies up front will lighten front of the car for a better weight transfer. Temperature down here is in the 60 to 68 range and looks very promising. Any more advice from you and anyone will be sincerely appreciated.

"Set D Rear at 6 and P Rear at 9."

Hope your track is hooking well. If it's not you'll want to try them a little looser. Like maybe 3 on the left and 4 on the right...maybe even 2 and 3.

Keep in mind that stockers are 50/50 so that is like 6 or 7. 3-4 (loose) is for less than desirable track conditions but there is always time to experiment.
