Hey gang,

I have a couple of questions for you drag racers.

1: Koni SPA-1 Shocks. I have them on the front of the Nova, but I lost the data sheet and I forget how to adjust them. Can you help? I want to try to slow the front end lift down, I have then on full loose now.

2: Ladder Bars. For all practical purposes I have ladder bars on my car. Rather unusual setup, the front of the bar slides in a pivot. But I can preload them like a normal setup.
What is the goal? I understand that the car tries to lift the left front due to engine torque. So which bar would I add pre-load to? My brain is struggling with this. I know it tries to plant the right rear harder.....but do I counter act this with pre-load? I'm confused.
The car is graining the left rear slick more than the right rear. And when the track gets hot, and the prep sucks, my 60ft times go away big time. I know I won't get perfect performance on a hot track, but I think the differing graining of the slicks is trying to tell me something.

All help appreciated!

I do plan on posting pics of the setup as soon as BPOS comes over with the digital camera. OK AL?

Thanks,

Ron

Go to Baseline suspensions.com. read Launching a drag car a few times. Lots of good stuff in there.

Good Luck

Preload the right side

Got the same Koni in front of my camaro.. if you are loose,, push shaft in all way and turn left or right, until you feel a click or lock,, turn to opposite direction and I think its to the right.. but one way is loose and other is firm..

Thanks for the info guys!
