From the experianced have 69 how far off lower bump stop for ride height BBc ? Thanks in advance

Re: A Body / susp.
 

My '72 is between 1/2"- 3/4" off the lower bump stop.

Re: A Body / susp.
 

Was this desired height or just obtainable through wrong spring selection, cutting. Not much travel for those whellies. Are you satisfied with this?

72 malibu. does your car have any clearance problems with it sitting so low. headers oil pan etc. can you still drive it at all off the track? I know I could never get my car that low with its moroso springs without cutting them past the point of usefulness. You use Santhuff's I think I've read. any pics of it standing still on 4 tires,lol. looks awesome leaving. thanks, chris

This was obtained with a front end weight of 1925lbs, called Santhuff and they recommended the 200lb springs, they hit it dead on. They would rather you hedge to the light side and use spacers to obtain ideal ride height so as to not lose any of the stored energy in the springs. I have the front end limited some so the wheelies dont get out of hand, yesterday it was leaving good but had the front end back on the ground by the 60ft timers. I dont have any clearance issues, the bottom bump stops are brand new and untrimmed, figured I need the cushion for landing. I use hedman headers and a Moroso 6qt pan with kickouts on either side, so its level with the crossmember.

Thank you for sharing info about the Green Weenie. I have seen the pics of Tony Janes red 68 sure wish him, or those that race similar could chime in. Its eminent these racers have the most efficient suspensions bar none.

I'd be curious to hear from others also. I might learn something.

Re: A Body / susp.
 

Is this top secret ?

Re: A Body / susp.
 

I'm the same as Bob. About 1/2"-5/8" off lower bump with me in the car, and about 1"-1 1/8" without me in the car. I then take the OEM bump stop out and put a 2 1/8" tall energy suspension bump stop in to help catch the car coming off the wheelie. The part number for this bump is 9-9101G. I trimmed it ever so slightly to give about 1/4" of air gap. Riding around in the pits it is like a Cup car down on the bump stops but I feel like it helps cushion the blow a little better than the lower OEM type stop.

my car is a small block to start off, but i have the Alf Wiebe setup in mine. it is new upper cross shafts and tall 'ball joint', moroso trick springs with one coil off, 30" tall mt rubber, no lower bump stops, and global west bushings . the car still has plenty of ride height and no clearance issues
