What kind of shocks did you get with the coil overs and what spring rate/ride height?

What kind of speeds did you see, and how did it feel at them?


Sorry for the 20 questions, it's just that this is the first I've heard of an f-Body on the 'ring. Too cool.

Its a Bilstein shock with Hyperco springs. The car sits about a 1.5 inches lower now.

What kind of speeds did you see, and how did it feel at them?
Peak speeds sometimes hit about 140-145 0n the stretches.

Nice!

So you never really pushed it when stock? It should run under 9 minutes bone stock.

In the hands of a skilled ring driver anything is possible. The best i got was 9:10 stock on a drytrack.
