Lots of us like to special tune our engines for a bit of extra zip. And tires and springs and sway bars are frequently kicked around this list in the interest of better handling. So let's see if susp

A couple of things come to mind, but it depends on the rules for your class. 1) lowering blocks 2) longer droop straps (or remove them altogether) 3) LSD 4) stiffer rear shocks (very stiff bump damp

Unfortuneately, most shop manuals list a ride height spec, and that's what the SCCA goes buy, even OE springs are illegal if they sag below the spec...

Have you tried using lowering blocks to bring the rear end back down? This would accomplish two purposes at the same time. 1. Increase the travel before the rebound straps go solid 2. get the CG clo

worn stock! No one complained when you increased your ride hight did they? No. And that's exactly what I'm contemplating. Then I hope no one complaines when I lower the ride height. Barney Gaylord 19

No. Not legal in Stock class. old, sagged ones, and this increases the roll stiffness of the rear end. Not unlike adding an anti-roll bar to that end. I think I don't understand this statement. If I

Not allowed in Stock class. Not allowed in Stock class, and may result in damage to the lever shocks from overextension. I don't think that Lysergic acid Diethylamide would do much for the car, altho

Indeed, I am referring to a Limited Slip Diff. If you are lifting the inside rear, then a clutch-type LSD or even (perish the thought) a detroit locker will at least allow you to drive out of the co
