I just installed SSM lift bars on my '70 Chevelle. My car has a 454 with according to "Desk Top Dyno 2000" about 745hp. The car has a turbo 400 trans with a "loose" built 4500rpm stall, and a 12 bolt rear with 4:10 gears. I plan to drive my car at some local cruises and a few trips around town, I also plan to take it to my local 1/8th mile track. On the instruction sheet it gave some recomendations on shocks. I was wanting some real world recomendations for the shocks front and rear. I also did some research and found that Competition Engerneering sells a set of trick springs, but doesn't recomend them for the street, why? SSM also mentioned using an air bag in the right coil spring, is this a good or bad idea? Thanks for all the input. :D
