So I've plotted my suspension, installed some upper adjustable arms and installed viking da shocks in the rear. Where should I start for a baseline setting on the shocks? The car has 3 degrees of pinion angle, a/s is 139.5%, i/c length is 44.3" @ 11.7" high. Car weighs almost 3900 lbs and I'm running a Hoosier drag radial...275/60/15

What kind of power are we talking about? Transbrake? Gears? What transmission?

If it is the same as your sig. I would start out at 10 clicks from full loose on the extension and somewhere around 5-6 on the compression.

Maybe try 1-2 clicks looser on the extension if footbraking it.

Not an expert by any means, but that is where I would start.

 

[Calculated Risk]

Full tight on compression with a drag radial. Then roughly 20-25% of the clicks from full loose on extension.

Full tight on compression with a drag radial. Then roughly 20-25% of the clicks from full loose on extension.

:yes:

My car is not as heavy and runs1.40 60s 6.40s@107mph.With the mt 275 60 15 drag radials I started full loose extension and full still compression.It would hook and then break loose.I stiffened the extension 6 clicks on my qa1s for a good hook.
