Twin turbo car - suspension starting points
Hello guys, need some suspension help here plus some ideas on a few issues. Took my car to the track with all
kinds of new upgrades and changes and I need some shock setting advice, maybe boost controller ramp rate input, as well as some quirks I noticed with the suspension.
Car is a 99 ws6 twin gt3582 billet wheel turbos, forged 348, trans brake with ptc 9.5” single disk. 80e
3.73 rear gear
used hoosier 28’s stiff wall with tubes.
car made 680whp @ 5600 rpm and climbing when I let off because of a ripped gate diaphragm. Guessing it’s somewhere around 750 on 18#.
Mwc tube k, speed engineering tubular a arm
stock upper a arms
fully adjustable tq arm, adjustable rear lca's
viking crusader double adjustable front coilovers with 250# springs
rear are Viking warrior shocks with stock springs
8.8 rear, lcarbs, quartermax ARB
slicks on 12#.
im pretty sure I need to slow the front end separation down, but I think the back of the car is working correctly with a little separation.
It hooks front end comes up and blows the tires off bad.
My initial shock settings are posted above. I added 5 clicks to the rebound in the front after my first pass, and it hooked for about 10’ then blew them off. But I also dropped the lunch psi from 5-10.
Now, I just installed the tube k, front control arms and Viking crusaders Friday the night before these passes. I set the coil height on the shocks the same with a caliper on the bench and installed them, but the car sits about 1.5” higher on the passenger front than driver front, can’t figure out why.

add lower control arm angle to hit the tire harder, loosen extension and add compression on the rear
shocks to hold the hit on the tire, and slow the front extension.
ramp should look like this, or something similar
.1 5
.2 7
.3 10
.4 .13
.5 17
.6 all
if that doesn’t work you may need to extend your ramp but you want it all in my .8 or you’re giving up alot
