08 smackdown updating

[TheJet-09]

I just started messing around with a two stage (I know, I'm behind). I first tried a 600/600 and felt that was maybe too stiff. I've since dropped to a 500/500. I've heard of guys running a 800/400, and from what I understand are crazy soft now. My numbers are also on a Gen-X using the inboard lower mount, so the motion ratio is softer than what those same springs would be on your Smackdown. I think a 250# on the outer mount is roughly a 225# on the inner mount (but don't quote me on that).

You have a lot of options overall, especially at this time of the year. Cars are starting to come up for sale more, so depending on where you're located you might find something. I saw a Smackdown on racingjunk just now. Has a new stub and interior.

^^^ Drifting off topic now, but is anyone running the new AFCO shocks that Jerry came up with? I only saw an add for them that someone shared on here, but I don't see anyone selling them. I like the set I got from him while still at SHY, but I need something for next year.
