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.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
