If it was me I'd just hook up a go pro and shoot some suspension video. Send it to the boys at Calvert and get a pro opinion. If you have the money and you really want to hook the car up then set up a data system. Shouldn't be hard to mount up some motion sensors on the shocks as well as wheel speed, driveshat speed sensors.

Basically you have 10 pages of arguments here since you don't have any data. If you had the data then you could just tune the car and you wouldn't need 10 pages of opinions.


Such is life!
This place is like Google. It's a simple search engine. You have to wade through the BS and use something that works for you.
I've learned more about rear suspension in this post than lots of others.
Pick your poison and move on.
Not to high jack the thread but what does having a long than stock front section on Calvert split mono do?

To much weight in the rear aint helping. Not that it is the current issue but something I think you will need to work on..

AS for the power adder deal. Sure would be nice and hepful to be able to bring in a couple hundred horsepower in even a few tenths after the tire is planted. Been my experience anyway...
