What options on rear shocks?
I’m new to the suspension world when it comes to track cars like mine but I’m wondering what all options are available for these cars and what bushings are gonna be best in order to keep the car solid from squatting too much upon launching?

Also which would be better the bmr lockout rear cradle kit or the delrin bushings. The lockout kit is a little cheaper and less effort than the delrin kit but I need minimal movement in the rear

the lockouts are good, but having read your posts, you are putting down more than a decent amount of power. there's still gonna be soft stock rubber down there with the lockouts. for a car like mine, 90% or so is removed, given I'm at stock v6 power. for v8's with "a bit more"  you'' be more like 70-80% stiff. delrin is pretty stiff which is great close if not 100, but if you can swing it, gm makes the aluminum rear bushings. you know its not moving.

Actually, I was just informed that Viking Suspension makes/sells a smooth-body rear shock replacement for the 6th Gen, and they’re working on front/rear coil-overs too...but that will probably be a while before those are available! Same with RideTech, was told long ago that they were also working on a coil-over set-up, but haven’t seen squat yet!
