H&R Super Race springs

[ShadowBolt]

Anyone have a set they want to sell or let me use for a weekend? I was thinking about trying them on the 55. I drove Kevin's car and it feels better with them than mine does. The H&R website says the Race and the Super Race lower the car the same as the Super Sports. I don't see how that is possible. My car is way higher than Kevin's is.

What is the spring rate diff between yours and his? What bars are you guys using?

[Suck fumes]

I think the super race springs are 900pds? So stiff you might as well not use a shock.

I use the smallest rear bar and I have never changed the front bar. With the set up I have now the car will not push (and I don't want it to) but the rear is very lose. At turn in in Big Bend and on both climbing off-camber lefts (Wagon Wheel and Buzzard Neck) I have to wait later than most to add power. It may be as good as it can be but if I can move some of my front grip to the rear and still not get any push that would be great.

So many different ways of doing things. Tyler was just a tick slower than you Aaron and his car is super low and 1300lb. Front springs.

I really like my set up but I felt Kevin's set-up was at least as fast as mine but way different.

1300!?!? Haha all I'm going to ask is....why? That's overkill for a 3100 car

Sure anyone can be just as fast for a couple laps but your tires will be gone by lap 5 if you run super stiff. That's why he faded away during 2nd half of race. It's not about who can turn a fast lap on whatever setup it's a matter of keeping grip and making your tires last a whole race.

If you had AST's your car would be perfectly setup with the right shock settings based on track.

From what I can find the Super Race are 950-1050 front and 260-300 rear. Running stock rear bar and MM PHB. Stock upper control arms and with stock bushings on both ends.

Then be a nice guy and give me your AST's LOL

I'm just saying the AST's are the best mustang shock I have EVER driven on period! I don't have one negative thing to say about them.

The suspension needs to roll some to absorb energy, otherwise the tires will take all the abuse and fade away.

1300lb in a mustang is only ~325lb wheel rate, not that high, I ran my fast lap of the weekend 10 laps in on Friday.
