i run bilstine shocks all the way around on a 4-bar allen autosports chassis, is it worth the money and also, would it help in the slick to run a 3/5 on the left front and a 5/3 on the right front to help keep the car rolled over on the right front. Or would it be better to run a strait valve shock on one side and a split valve on the other side, if so, which one on which side? And also, i have a 5/3 setup on a coilover i could run on the right rear, or would that be to much? the track is a 3/8 clay, the banking gets steeper as you go up the track, so i was thinking, when it slicks off, this could be a good setup to run right around the bottom. the car is on hoosier G-60's, sorry for the long post, but thanks in advance for any info on this.. and by the way, bilstein's have the rebound # first and the com # second...

Are you talking off the shelf shocks? Sometimes they're off alittle, what does Scotty say? I'd say those would work if thats what they are but every car/driver are different. You can get Scotty dry slick pkg for about 150 a piece, not much more than off the shelf. We have run them and liked them. Good luck and if I can help, let me know, ran an Allen for 6yrs.
