superstock springs rear clamps?

Walker434 said

Since we are on this subject I will ask a question. I have been trying to sort out my traction issues since my engine swap. I've got 275/60/15 MT drag radials, SS springs, Ramcharger shocks in the back and 90/10 shocks up front. I do have the necessary 5 inches of travel up front.

I still don't get much traction on the street but I haven't got it to the track yet. Should I go ahead and start clamping up front or just wait until I get to the track to see how it hooks there? Also, would I try clamping up front or removing the rear factory clamp first?

Thanks in advance.

walker, as said, the track and the street are two different animals. don't expect to hook on the street if you have very much power at all.

next, just go run at the track like you are. carry the clamps with you. make some passes without them on, and then get under there and clamp up. it only takes a few minutes with some help, and you can see how much you pick up on the exact same track conditions.

if you are going to be running the car on the street then I don't think it would be wise to unclamp the rear of the springs. thats a trick only for straight line guys, and would maybe spell trouble if subjected to the side loads of turning on the street.
