What kind of surface? What is the ride height rule? or better yet what track? You really need to be more specific when your looking for this kind of information. actually a link to the rules would be good too.

I run a 3/8 high banked track rf pinto spring with 1 inch spacer. rf mustang 5.0 spring with 1 inch longer arm from a 95 mustang. Lr stock spring rr elcamino spring very soft bit takes some modification of spring and body to fit. No sway bar. Stock struts Gabriel shock Lr kyb rr won 8 out of 10 races this year.

Also all of the low mustangs don't seem to work very well.
