What kind of 60's did you see? I have the crusaders as well with the "race" valving. I'd pull the wheels on the old shocks (believe they were some 90/10 variant) have yet to do it with these... Was clicking off some 1.33's w good radial prep. (hard to come by these days) Best of a 1.28.

nice runs!

I guess they make a stiffer high hp version now.
Are the Menscers going to be a coilover setup?

Yes ours are, but I'm pretty sure you can get them either way. Really, the coil over is the way to go if you can. I know its a big expense up front. But in the end you won't regret it for a second. They were a complete game changer for us. They will help you get that thing dialed in. They know their ****. They want you to brag about them. They will treat you the same as the big boys. Good people to say the least.

Those shocks you have will never let you unleash your cars full potential. We had the same caliber of shock as well. We could barely leave on good amount of juice before, and still had to milk it in slow. Now we leave on a 200 shot and a 1000 more rpm off the brake, and it never leaves the ground. It really is amazing that just a shock can make that big of a difference, but they sure do.
