You can't go wrong with Ground Controls; you can pick the spring rates you want for your application. I Have Ground Controls but looking for Drag shocks to go with them. I think I might go with Advanced Design though. I'll see.....

Thanks accordking, I was thinking those, as I have already used them to set up our road race cars and have been very happy. I was hoping maybe to get some insight into what the pros are using. I know they are using wheelie bars and common known susp.suppliers. But do you know how I might set the susp. up? Like the compression and rebound? or any tricks?
Thanks dude.

I'm close to the 10's with only 300 HP. The cheapest way to go on the wheelie bars is to buy the JEG's kit and pay a shop to weld them if you don't have that skill. I use an Eibach rear spring with stock shocks. My theory is once you are on the wheelie bar wheels, the rear is along for the ride. Spend your $ for a true adjustable coil over for the front. Adj. the shock to hold the front down as much as you can. 500 HP should get you close to the 9's. Get at least a 24" tall slick and upgrade the axles.
Anyone else with other ideas out there?
Earl
