Suspension question
DV, here are the answere's to your questions; steering-Flaming River manual steering with your steering column, engine-351W with cast iron heads, front carrera coil overs with 350lb spring rate, rear springs are 200lb with pro shock from Bethania, rear end is a Currie 9" set up for 8.8 suspension components, I run Hoosier road racing radial. I balanced the car and was able to achieve 48/52 & battery is located in trunk on right side.
Handling- the car feels as though it is just leaning too much into a hard fast turn & the tires occasionally rub. As far as plowing or loose rear end, it's hard to say, sometimes it plows and sometimes it feels like the rear is about to slide out.
In conclusion- it sounds like I should change the rear spring rate to 250lb and re-install the larger sway bar in the rear and no sway bar in the front, is this correct? should I do anything to the front end or should this take care of the body roll?
If the rear is too soft, does this cause plowing or loose rear end?
I also have some photo's of the car on the turns showing the body roll if it will help.
Thanks for your quick response and time.
