[quote ended up changing from Strange single adjustable coil overs to the same set up with Strange double adjustables and switched from a 175 lb spring to a 150 lb. spring. Whats your thoughts on how the car drives now compared to the old set up




Cab I think it has 150lbs springs on it i'll have to double check
for the most part I have not notice any difference between the two set-ups other than I don't have to leave @ 3,000 rpm now I seen better 60ft by dropping the r's some (found out by a bad stage) it did pull to the right a couple times...if $$$ allows the double adjustable might be in the future...I do have a new set of tires 31x14x15 goodyears 32x14x15 on it now

Call John@Ben Holt in Columbus Oh, 614-471-1022 after getting my car where I thought it was good I took it to them and it was the best money I spent on the suspension.

did all the alignments and squareness of the car, set the ride height, scaled it and set the shocks adjustments and did a general check over of my set-up, good guys to deal with and talk to and very knowlegeable plus they keep a file of what you have and where it is set up at so you can go back and check and see if anything has changed or moved, they have given back my confidence in the cars ability to hook and drive straight.

Got it Thanks

Mike fouts did mine and I know he gave me a sheet where it scaled in at, I might get in touch with them about alignment though

Another thing they did was to fix my bumpsteer issue,,as far as Mike, I haven't had him do any work for me but have heard that he does good work from some of the guys he has worked with.
