Rear Suspension Video

" Lastly the ladder bars are in the bottom holes for maximum weight transfer. Thanks!"

I disagree with this statement. As I've never had a car like yours, a 4-speed with a little engine, all I can do is offer an opinion. I'm guessing you only have low 400HP and torque is as bad as it gets because it's a little 289 with low compression and all. That being said, I would think I would place the ladder bars further UP and then make my shock adjustments using the lighter 110# springs. I don't think a car like yours has enough "giddy up and go" to warrant having the IC way up front and attempting to carry the car. I'd hit the slicks harder with the ladder bar moved up. Then you might see some changes with shock adjustments. And of course, I'd have the shocks dyno'd to make sure all is well with the shocks. No matter how new or old they are.
