275# front springs, set with r shocks on #2 with travel limiters set to 2.5".

Rear shocks are set 50/50 rate.

Rear springs 150#

My instant center is 48" x 5" off the ground.

Rear fender is 26.75" off the ground with a 29" tire.

Front is 3/4" lower than the rear.

Weight dist is 52/48.

I run a manual, since you have an auto I would recommend your instant center a little higher, maybe 6-7" off the ground to start.

Are you talking ORSCA EZ street competition? Hate to burst your bubble, but I dont think 950 hp is going to cut it in that class.

About as fast as I can push it in and out of the garage, 8-10 seconds at 1-2 mph?

I was just giving you an example of what I had mine is under construction still, I will one day when someone drops a bag of money on my door step run a procharger with a 15x12 with a 31 or 30x11, and make 800-900 hp on pump gas, then run it on race gas and add some boost and rip some passes at the track. It's my ultimate quest for a kick *** fun street / strip car.

Do you have any photos yet?

If you're asking about the strut front suspension, I don't have any digitals. The car is getting a 25.5 now, so I was just going to wait until a little more is done and post a bunch of pics.
