    Are you allowed to move the shock mounts from the stock position?

      If you can run tubular upper a-arms, run a shorter rf upper. If not legal, you'll have to do a fair amount of fabrication to shorten the stock ones.Also, many in my area are running springs in the 400lb range.

            your right krooser, i watch some of the metric street stocks trying to mimic the late models with the soft rt frt and bump stop and there left rear will be of the ground through the turn because the rear arms are binding up.

                  You gotta admit though, Rocketmans (Richie Stephens) cars sure wins a lot of big races!

                    beware who you listen to on here some real knuckle heads who have never done anything

                    The softest I was able to run was 680/630, people commented a lot about how much roll I got that was back in 08-09, won races in texas, iowa, alabama, nebraska etc. ran those same springs at 3100 and 3400 lbs

                      your right, looked at his car over at TST last year, he had a cone bump stop on the shock. i sure would like to have looked his rear over cause his left rear is planted pretty good.

                        I really think a bump setup is to complicated and not needed on a street stock.i would rebuild the nose piece,pulling it forward ,make it wide as possible,low as possible (9'' at r/f) before I started on a different set up direction.

                          See post 9 and 11. I saw where he gets $20k for a roller, but they win ALOT!

                          Ignore post 10! He couldn't compete with Rocketmans cars!
