what are you guy using to run 10s or quicker with std diff and front struts? pedders 90/10 front and pedders 50/50 rear shocks? what springs? i assume 25+ year old std 6cyl front springs but what about rears? I would like to keep the car low all-round but not if that it will jeopardize launch quality, obviously not going to be low at the front though with standard 6cyl springs exact part numbers etc would be nice, or atleast a decent description cheers.

the "boxed control arms", "big rear sway bar", "pinion angle" etc stuff i already know. just need spring and shock info and only 1 member mentioned 90/10 and 50/50 shocks, another said 60/40 i think, another said a coil chopped off std springs...that thread is allover the shop lol, ...so i guess pedders 90/10 front and pedders 50/50 rear shocks and 25+ year old std 6cyl springs all round is all i need as far as springs and shocks go?

I have Bilstein 70/30 rear shocks and McDonald Bros 90/10 front shocks. Will see how it goes when I race it in 2030 lol

is the topic of this thread some kinda secret or something? bit disappointed with the amount of replys considering how many members run decent quarter mile times... Thanks to those that have had an input though.

No one else has commented because this is all you can do with a standard front and rear end maybe try some competition engineering adjustable rear shocks, it's a tried and tested combo by many and should see high 1.4 60ft times that's more than enough to run into the low 9s, most people are running over 500kw with these set ups

Plus a thread asking the exact same question was started a week before this one. 90/10 pedders fronts with superlows. 50/50 pedders rear with standard springs (1 coil cut off). Biggest non adj. rear sway bar. No front sway bar. Braced lower trailing arms, adj uppers. Have gone multiple 1.42 60's on 255 et streets.
