superstock springs rear clamps?
Thanks guys good info,while we are at it how about pinion snubber,does it make it hit harder or softer,slower/faster?
helps sometimes, and hurts sometimes. depends on the car.
I have one on my car but I keep it set at 1.5 inches from the floor. I marked the floor with a shot of white paint and with the front of the springs clamped it has not hit yet. I just have it there in the event something goes wrong. at least the u joints won't get ate up.
have used them on other cars set 1/2 inch from the floor and they work great. depends on the car. on footbrake cars that 60 ft around high 1.50's and up, I think they work the best. trans brake cars and 4 speeeds that use them will beat the piss out of the bottom of the floor without proper bracing.
the trick to the snubber is to not preload it against the floor and give the suspension time to work before it hits. in my opinion it is at its best when it hits the floor just as the rear shackles are pulled into a straight up and down position. you have maximum rise when the shackles are in that position, and the snubber stops over travel of them and unloading of the suspension by not letting them over travel forward and let the body come back down.
I have seen cars that bounce badly when using a snubber as well, and unloads the tires in an "on and off" fashion.
you just have to go through trial and error and see what your car likes.
