Ok, here are my mods. KB SFCs, Hotchkis STB, KB Lower chassis brace, GW Wonder Bar, GW rear control arms and panhard bar, Spohn torque arm, polygraphite bushings all around, Bilstein shocks and struts. I currently have Hotchkis springs, but I will be going for Global West (1" drop) due to front suspension bind with 1.75" drop in the front.

Global Wests recommendation is 640 lb/in front, 460 lb/in rear. Too stiff? I currently have 16" mesh rims, but will be going to 17 or 18" soon.

Thanks, Dave '91 T/A

 

The fronts sound ok, but the rear rate seem awfully high.

There can be only one!!

 

I know of one case (it was a solo II champ winning '83) where the rears were stock berlinetta rear springs cut for ride hieght. i don't remember the fronts but the theory was to run the rears soft for better traction. Apparently the theory worded because this E street prepared camaro was consistently running with C-prepared cars. if you're not familiar with the classes (ie prepared and street prepared) just ask.
