I wanted to get a little feed back if I could. I have a metric 4 bar modified with nova lowers and gm big car spindles. I'm running a #650 RF spring and a #600 LF spring. My RF camber is set at -3. I really like this setup as its new this year to me but my RF shock body is making contact with my upper ball joint collar. We have tried moving the shock mount as inboard as it will go and it still makes contact. A buddy of mine suggested taking a degree of camber out of the RF but I'm wondering if I need stiffer springs. I'd love to hear what some guys are running for springs and camber on this setup. Thanks in advance for your help.

Flip the shock over so the body is at the bottom.

What he said. I have to do the same thing on my Metric car.

I actually tried that last week and wound up with a bent shaft...BUT the track I was running was rougher than a plowed field, so it might be non related. Since last week we have moved the shock mount more inboard, so I will try flipping it body down. Thanks for the help guys.
