Front shock question. With a double adjustable,under what conditions would a softer compression setting be required? I've been led to believe with my type of car it would be tough to have the compression to stiff. The car is still in the build stage. 64 Belvedere,aprox 3350 w/driver,36" ladder bar,10.5Wx31,4.10,Koni dbl adj rear w/130lb spring,113" wheel base,foot brake, 572" (850-900 H.P.?) 727 auto, 2.45 1st gear. Based on my old car I would say Frt weight 52%. With my nose weight would a single with stiff compression valving work? Or should I sell them and step up to doubles in the front. This will be a index car (9.25 or 9.50) so consistancy is important.
Thanks Doug




Some cars can use single adjustable shocks on the front and be fine. The size of the wheelie and the weight are probably the main factors. The double adjustable shock offers the most tuning options. We have had success using either shock on the appropriate application. How high does your car pick them up and carry them out?



Not sure as the car is being completed as we speak. What would be the indications/results of the front shock compression setting being to stiff?
