question about ladder bar/shock adjustments

[Jeff Colvert]

I like to see the ladder bar level to 1 1/2 deg down in front. With the single adj. shock you can put more hit to the tires by softing the setting. Best case would be to have double adj. shocks then you could loosen the top setting to hit tires harder and tighten the bottom setting to hold the tire to the ground longer. Also loosen front shocks on a slick track for more weight transfer. Anyway thats how I run my Mustang.

Jeff i was curious what your car weighs and what rate coil spring do you run in the rear

I would lower the front of the bars a little more. You cant adjust for a bad track. I run the same shock combo. Your ride height of the shock should be just a little more than half travel. QA-1 should give a ride height for your shock. Then install the softest spring to get the ride height.
