I'll be happy to let you use my video camera if you come. It's really cool if they let you walk out to various corners. I'd love to see footage of the car in 3a-b and the 4/5a-b/6 combo.

Speedware does all of my alignment and corner weighting before a run. They definately know how to set a car up to turn the corners.
Anyone on the FRRAX.com site will give you the same (or very close to) spring rates. And with an Fbody you want the biggest front sway bar you can get on the front and a small one on the rear. You want a little bit of give in the back. You dont want it so stiff that if you start to laterally load the car it just gives away. Alot of the ORR guys (especially the fast ones) you will find dont even run a rear sway bar. Dave Golders crew chief and nav. said I should take mine off but since I had never driven it without I chose to leave it on.

Thanks Boyce! I have a hollow 35mm Strano bar up front. But I plan to keep my 25 solid ST bar on the back. I know it will detract from the cornering a little, but when I lay into it, the *** end wants to come around. (I hope I can say my car has traction issues from too much power on this site without getting the **** I do on the ORR site) Anyway, I'm not trying to make it into a cup car, I just want it to corner better. I will look into finding those spring rates.
Just need to get the right length to fit the shock and then just about any spring maker should have them. Are these going on your HAL's? If so, I would just give them a call.

On the other hand if HAL only offers a 350lb spring as thier max, maybe the shock itself cant take anything more than that. To stout of a spring can screw a shock up that isnt design to handle it.
