controlling wheelstands
 
Has anyone used front end limiters to control wheelstands ? 9.5 SS car. Thanks

Most people I know do. We have them on the SS/EA Camaro. It's better to control it with shocks though, a lot smoother.

Alan is correct, using adjustable shocks is a good method. On several different combinations I have used limiters and always end up removing them. A quality shock is your friend.

On the other hand there may be situations where limiting the front suspension travel is the best option. It is the age old answer, "depends on your needs or combination" It will not cost much to test a set. Then you will have first hand info specific to your car.

Move your weight box to the front of the car Bob..

I agree with Phillip, If you dont need it for bite move it to the front and it also helps settle the front end down on the top end.

Well, we have the high dollar double adjustable shocks on both cars. But the SS/EA Camaro has stop bolts as well. And yes, moving weight forward is a good idea, and works best. But you don't want it all the way forward. Permanent ballast about a foot or two in front of the rear axle. Still weight to help it hook, but not weight to make it wheelstand.

I just put a new set of AFCO's on my car and it took care of the big wheelstands. Ed
