Glad to see I was close with the springs. Texas hobby stock, running asphalt take-offs. We gotta run stock mount shocks, so I'm gonna research your site, and shocks, and see close I can get with Bilstein SMX's.
great videos as per usual jay. a trend ive started to notice weither that be b mod, a mod or stock car, LF seems to have a stiffer spring than the RF weither it be a 600 to a 550 or the 1100 to 900 springs. is that to hold the car at attitude better and promote weight transfer?
Great question, the bigger LF spring is more likely being added to the car to induce RR wheel load during cornering. I also advise you to do this because most people will, but in reality, we need to work on the RR load to increase it in dynamic so the RR tire has something to race against.
Very good question, it is the amount of rebound in the shock and how it is going to turn the car through the corner. The lower the rebound the tighter the car can be, other things come into play like spring rates and ride height, and just how someone drives the car. All these things can make the car tight or free but in many cases, the cars seem to be tight and rebounds help to turn the car.
Great video Jay, and no need to call me back. I ( Tom Stark) left you a message today with a lady. I'm building my own chassis and not having a base line I have a few questions. First off I way 280 pounds so I'm scaling with the weight of the driver in the car and using a 200 LR scaling spring, is that correct? On the LR if I'm listening correctly you want the preload to be between 185-250 correct? I'm also looking for a start point for LR axle/wheel drop . I'm assuming 4" to 5" from ride to full dynamic roll. With my RR at ride height I'm at 450 pounds pre load. This video had perfect timing. I will be ordering the ride height gauges tomorrow and a load stick . Thank You.
@@jaynealgofastThanks. I've never raced dirt, been asphalt for 30 years. Local track went to dirt so good thing is nobody is fast... yet. Lol No weight rule 8" wheel DOT tire (295 50s) Metric car stock shock mount Hoping to get a decent all around set up as the track prep crew is learning too, either complete mud or dry and dusty (sometimes both in the same night). Watching and trying to learn the seemingly total opposite dirt car terminology and lingo. Although a few things are the same.
Glad to see another video always learn something from your content
Thank you, I will try to keep it good.
It helps keep them coming!
Thanks
This is verry informative
Thanks

Appreciate the videos. Will be contacting you about wissota Midwest mod packages.
Thanks, if we can do anything to help let us know.
On the options..... what is meant by low, med, high turn? Is that the tightness/radius of the turn, or speed, or ????

@@jaynealgofast awesome..... thanks for the reply!
So, would you start with a medium and go from there?

Good luck this season, glad to see you back in a car.
How much do these cars weigh?
