Shock options for track cars, Give me your opinions Options

[nine14cats]

Hi Gang,

I'm currently running Bilstein's all around on my track car. No special valving. Right out of the box.

If we were to assume the current set up at the bottom and the JWE Fox shocks at the top, what are my options in between?

My current car setup:

Front =
---------
23mm solid t-bars
27mm Smart racing AR bar
911T struts, calipers, brakes
turbo tie rods
Bilstein shocks

Rear =
--------
350lbs to 450lbs springs (depending upon track or application)
adjustable perches
Bilstein shocks
944 calipers and brakes

I will be going to bigger brakes all around, so I won't have the 911T struts much longer.

What are my shock options and approx. costs?

i.e. low end $500, Fox shocks $4400....

We run this car at Thunderhilll, Laguna Seca, Sears, Buttonwillow.

Thanks,

Bill P.

JP,

It takes one time at a local venue to set the 4 way shocks. Once you get the event surface dialed in record your settings and set the car prior to the event. You shouldnt be dicking with them in staging lanes. Fordahl runs Motons on his 9146.. cockpit adjustable/remote resovoir. He adjusts them sitting in the car/staging lanes when attending a new venue.

You know I push the whole "driver" issue.. I have 6 newbies out right now on street tires and all of them are whining about going to stickies... I tell them another 8 events and then we can go stickies.. they need to learn car control on street tires. Only one of them has Koni adjustables.. I set them for him after I see the car go around the course.

Bill can drive. Bill asked the question. Bill is ALWAYS finishing in the top 4 if not the top 2 at our PCA events. His next purchase will be adjustable shocks.
