Thread: Question about adjustable front shocks and spring rate

I have been trying to find specs on Competition Engineering's 3-way adjustable front shocks. Specifically I'm looking for rebound rating to match with Moroso Trick Springs. The springs are sold according to front end weight of the car, but Dave Morgon's Doorslammer's chassis book recommends matching springs and shocks according to spring rate. He says it will do no good to select a spring rated for 240 lbs. if the shock is rated for less and will be overcome by the spring. Makes sense. Hard to select springs or shocks without shock rate data.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

thats the reason you buy 3-way adjustable shocks, so you can adj. the shocks to what ever suit your set-up the best. you dont have a lot of choice with the across the counter shocks.. to do what you want to do you would have to get someone to build you a shock to your specs.

the specs are stiff, stiffer. stiffest.
