Re: 72 Lwb

A lot of good info there. On my drag race suspension. Ladder bar with the traditonal perpendicular/behind the axel coil overs, your saying the rear springs play a much bigger part than I could of imagined.
The amount of seperation(anti-squat) is no more than .500-.750". I cant see how stored energy has anything to do with that. It is a function of leverage which I control by the rear shocks...I use the shocks also to control the compression(squat). Am I completely off base here?
