Looking for some suggestions......I have had a couple of ladder bar cars and one 4-link.....now I have a stock suspended Mustang. I just bought 10-way adjustable Strange rear shocks for the car. Normal thought is to set at middle setting and test watching the sixty foots and tire spin. But.....I am only running on a 9" tire. Should I start with a little stiffer setting than normal. last year on the scales the car was at 52% front and 48% rear. Any ideas oh great gurus of racing. This stock suspension stuff is going to be fun.

seeing that yer running an early fox body mustang, here's what I'd recomend. This should be good to low 9's

HPM upper control arms
Bennent Lowers - tubular with poly bushings
weld all of your torque boxes
UPR anti roll bar

if yer looking for someone to do it for ya, call J-Rods Rides. 248 6702768. He'll work with ya on settin it up or do it for ya

Thanks for the input.....but, I have UPR adjustable aluminum bushed upper control arms, UPR aluminum bushed lower adjustable controls arms. Boxes are welded and braced, I dont believe in anti roll bars (I will try and find an article from Ed Quay about anti roll bars). And thanks for the reference to J-Rods Rides, but I have been building chassis myself for about 15 years. Thanks Kireol for answering with suggestions. I just need to test and bone up on stock suspension tuning with a small tire. Not much different than ladder bars / 4-links but never really done it. Theories and physics are still the same.
