Running a 3200lb metric car on a 3/8's moderate to high banked dirt oval. I last ran RF 1100lb LF 950lb RR 250lb and LR 225lb. I have different spring rates to try. Shocks were RF 6 valve LF 5 valve RR 4 valve and LR 5/3 valve. I also have a few different shocks to play with. Car is set up for all 9" shocks, currently have oil shocks. Thinking of running Bilstein gas shocks.Thoughts??

search my name see if enough of my posts are still visible to help you.

I assume your racing and not talking about a dump truck, but your front spring rates seem like a dump truck

If you want to start conservative

900 800
275 250

5050 8040 80 rebound 60 compression
3030 3030

8040 rf would be a adj for drier track you could put this on the LF on a really really heavy track to free the car up a little also


I NEVER ran splits on the rear in the last 5 years I ran a stock car which are when I won most of my races.
