My 1/8 mile best was 99 MPH and the front shocks are set to max easy rebound and stiff compression. Rear slicks are M/T Drag slicks 28-11.5 15 inch and I run tubes. Maybe this is why it acts as a slightly stiffer sidwall slick, and helps me out on the stick car?
I also should note that I also purchased Caltrac monoleaf spring with the bars when I installed them. He tailors the spring to each car based on body style, weight, trans type, etc..
I know everyone has their own experiences, but SS springs just plain didn't work on my car. I previously installed brand new SS springs from Mopar performance 3800 pound auto springs. The first few times I did practice launches with the car with them, the springs wrapped up so bad, the rear axle moved forward and the tires clipped into the front of the wheel wells cutting the tires up (Brand new M/t et street drag radials). I also had the front segments of the springs clamped very tightly in 2 spots each. The springs are in my garage now in the shape of a slight "S".
I went to Caltracs, and What a difference! Then again..this is on my car. Each car might act differently.
I hope this helps.
