I am cam only with full suspension, 12 bolt 4.10s, m6, drag radials, 275 springs in the front w/ single adj. in the front slammed, and stock springs in the rear with shocks. My best time ever was 11.90, but my car runs consistant high 11's. I have mine on 0 on all fours. I know that seems crazy but it works for me, remember all cars are diff.

The fronts I would start at 1-2 clicks from the softest setting and the rears about in the middle. Shock settings are going to vary greatly from car to car but this should be a good starting point.

If you want give me a call here at the office and I can go over your specific application and make a better recommendation for you

well I am glad I popped into this thread because I was about to ask the same thing. I also have the 275# springs in the front, but I am rockin the BMR rear springs in the back, and the qa1 12ways in the rear aswell as the front. The car is full weight aswell. Is the softest setting all the way to the left when the **** will not click any further?
