Hey guys, one final question for me today, I was curious if the people that run their cars at the track or drag strip have them lowered much? My ride is lowered a bit and would like to get more active at the tracks just on a part time, having fun basis.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I am sure it does as your rear end does not have as much room to travel before it bottoms out.:cheers:

Alot of it also has to do with the shocks that you have. Whether or not you have stiff or soft shocks will make a difference. Bill

Ok, so is it better to have stiff or soft shocks? Thanks Bill

First off the cars are lowered to cut through the air and keep the air from getting under the car. When air gets under the car it lifts the car and slows the car down and allows it to loose traction.

Suspension tuning is a fine art and takes time and lots of adjusting. You have spring rates, shocks, center gravity and a ton of things.
If you want to play with shocks, get a nice set of adjustables like QA-1's or Koni or check out some stuff from Chassis Eng or Compition Eng or Art Morrison. Most of these shocks have 3 to 4 settings for softness or hardness.

To start i like to run the rears at 50/50 and a front base line at 80/20.
What year is your vette and what is the hp? Will you be running slicks? Stock suspension?

Thanks for replying and sorry for the late response. Nothing major for HP near stock '06 C6. Suspension is pretty much stock. So your saying a Koni shock would be good improvement to the suspension?

Dumb question: Can you explain this further "To start i like to run the rears at 50/50 and a front base line at 80/20."? I'm not really a suspension buff and would like to learn more about tuning a suspension.

Thanks for taking the time.
