What length springs & shocks, what spring rate? I am looking at pulling the Caltrac's and monos to go ladders for that dead hook consistancy to go rounds....

Your car is pretty darn awesome....4-link, big tires, lenco, big hemi, etc...

After racing a 4-link A-body this season I want an E-body with a 4-link, should have held off before buying this one, but none of the cheap restoration freaks have the cash...so, I will have at it with this one...

That's X2 for #130 lb springs....We run #90 lb springs on a 4-link duster, and I figure that had more over hang on the weight but wasn't sure...
