Guys,

Working on my track setup a little more.

Now want to play with Coil Spring Preload on the Pedders Xa's. Right now sitting at 5mm preload on all four corners. Talking to some guys that road race cars say to run 8mm in the front and 3mm or less in the rear. This will aid in nose dive under hard braking and provide good weight transfer for the drive off the corner.

Anyone have any information that they would like to share. I know that this is a lot driver preferance. What may be the optimum for our Camaro's?

Later
Ralph
