Default Paging Madman

Madman,

What is your favorite shock/spring setup for F-bodies?

I know you like the 8 way adjustable shocks but I can't remember which ones you recommend?

I have a buddy that is setting up his car for 9s with a six speed and needs help deciding

I am in contact with several people about getting you up here in the spring for a visit. (track rental etc)

Thanks Madman,

The car is my Formula I sold to a friend in Montreal.

Raceweight will be down to the ~3400 pound range when he is finished. Car will be making ~470RWHP on motor and ~650RWHP on spray.

Car is a six speed:

BMR extreme TA and subs
hotchkiss LCAs
BMR adj PHR
stock rear sway (for now)
He'll be running a K-member
28 inch tall tire on 15 inch rims and skinnies/radials on the front
12 bolt with spool and 4.10s

Any advice you could give on rear swaybar config and shocks/springs would be greatly appreciated

Chris

Use the Wolfe swaybar, stock firebird springs in the rear. Dbl. Adjustable all the way around and 300lbs springs in the front.
