Aside from the ride height, those of you who have tried their SS mounted in both top and bottom positions on the front spring hanger, what was your experience in how the car reacted?

Why not try them both on your car? No two cars are identicle Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

When you says "works best" do you mean it 60'/quarter mile quicker or the handling/ride quality or ?? Just curious, do you recall how much your pinion angle changed when you switched between the top and bottom?

Pinion angle changes by 1 1/2*, with my set up. 4 speed street legal. Best time 10.99 @ 124 mph on 93 octane pump gas @ 3926# total weight
