Low friction bushings and a lot of travel...

Thanks for the reply - can you explain hat exactly you mean by 'a lot of travel'?

The distance the nose of your car is able to move upward until the front wheels come off the ground...Crucial in a small tire/low power car that you're trying to get to wheelstand.

Thanks for the info....Any suggestions other than the bushings?

Sitting lower may be a good thing; it was for me. Calvert will work with you on the ride height. It involves replacing the rear portion of the spring.
One thing often overlooked by those not running the Stock class but wishing to emulate a Stocker in suspension and leave characteristics is the fact many of these "hard leaving, wheelie poppin' vehicles" have a LOT of ballast in the rear. This is done to make the class minimum weight and / or to gain traction.

Has anyone else had an issue with the new springs moving the rear tires forward in the wheelwell?
