Rear suspension set-ups..... What's everyone running in the back for shocks & springs? Strictly drag set-up with no concern for street friendliness. I have QA1 F-series up front (single adj.) w/ 300# springs...stock shocks & springs in back. So what do you run/reccommend??
Strange or AFCO later but that's after the rear-end is in.

Oh I am running 10" 150# coil over springs and c/e 3 way adjustable on my rear set to 50/50.
If I went with some thing nicer it would be coilover afco's

I'm not sure if they would be stock style but i know some one makes a kit that uses a hole in the upper spring mount area and it bolts to the lower shock mount and it is a coil over.

How fast have you been on that setup? We ended up going with 175# springs and 40-way double adjustable AFCO's

Fastest I went with this car was 11.30's, haven't done much to this car, I had my nova that I raced this has always been my DD, finally starting to build this car up.
Doing the mini tub/drag radials now with plans for a turbo. When I went 11.30s they didn't even have a m/t drag radial out this was back in 1999 or 2000
40 way double adjustable, damn bet those cost a few $$$$
I have a few springs I can try a lot of my friend drag race, I just got a set of 130# 12" free today off my buddys 72 nova, he runs a 95# spring, but his car is like 2450 pounds.
I just got the 150# 10" when I went 11.30's it was with c/e shocks and stock springs in back with an air bag.
A few people I know run the 150# spring so I went with that since my car is similar in weight.
Why did you end up going with the 175# spring? Your car looks pretty light.
Kind of hard to compare setups, yours makes like 3.5 the power mine does lol.
What are you faster guys running for LCA setups? I know a lot of you run madmans t/a, I have seen a ton of photos of cars and setups but no one seems to be running the double adjustable brackets, are they not legal in the stock suspension classes?
