Thanks for the video. IMCA hobby Been running 13 inch rear springs and similar rates . Have gone as low as 175 in the RR and have run 100 lbs of split between rear springs . It's worth trying out if the car has less than 51 % rear. Car had 50.5 % rear .
I am okay with the rear split and I think you should look at increasing the RR spring, If you are getting more they 2 inches of travel then go to a 225 x 13.
Mr Jay do you have or would u do anything for an asphalt Hobby Stock? 3050# No ride height rule or left side% 3/8 tight corner 1/2 flat 3/4 has med banking and has rather bumpy center which is a bit harsh on these tank of cars esp with stock location shock. (which 99% are Bilstein stock location) Thanks God bless to u as well 🙏🏻
10 Series we would run the SRT piston on them and need to work on the valving some together. Call me Monday and we can talk about it, yes I think we would be good.
I suppose it would depend on what you’re trying to accomplish. I have cars running 650-800 with positive results, using 5-6” travel on a 7” shock. but wonder if I’m missing something with a stiffer package. I would think there would be a rule of thumb that a car with x frt % requires x total spring rate.
WOW, this is a harder subject and I feel that in the past we kind of looked at leaf spring the wrong way, here is what I would try and why. Let me know what you think or anyone reading this. LR run a softer leaf, 125 or 150 this should decrease drive on that tire. (leaf springs make a lot of forward traction) RR, run a 225 or 250 to increase RR tire load allowing speed in the corner. We have done this before and it did work.
@jaynealgofast on a slick track do you think that heavy of a RR will allow the car to get over on it. My fear would be a very loose car coming out the corner due to the RR sliding and not digging. Currently I'm on a 225LR 175RR. Car rolls over hard on RR. Thank you for the response.
Hands down the best division and 💪🏻🏁 Racing at just about every race track across the 🇺🇸.. Especially the asphalt Hobbys!!
I love a hard body car class, very fun.
This has been a big help on my street stock camaro set up.
Thanks!
Good
Great information!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video.

@@jaynealgofast what would the disadvantage be on traveling say 3" vs 2"
Would be nice to see the exact same video but for the imca/usra stock cars
Will do one this week.

A 1/2 inch nut under the right front shock?
Under the tee bar to shim it down some.
Why are the fendered cars in general over 900 lbs in rate on the frts?
What do you think would be a good rate for front springs (Hobby) (Stock car) both right and left.

Waiting on a leaf spring video now lol

We got 2 leafers that is close for our pavement set up
What you think on fronts springs
