Looking for some help on my corvette rear end set up. It has the IRS with tom’s upgrades, QA1 double adjustable shock, and a L88 rear spring. The problem I’m having with the car is when it launches the rear drops about an inch and them rebound back a hundred time faster. It does the same thing in second. It feels like it wants to throw you through the front windshield. When I set the shocks on the tightest setting it seems to help a little. I only have four rounds on the car and as bad as it is I’m afraid that I’m going to wreck something before I get it figured out. So I have no idea witch way to go, do I make the rear spring stiffer or do I need to make it softer. I know I have to back off on the clutch setting and the front end probably needs some work(I have a set of morose springs and front shocks all the way loose). I will take video next time I go because it way to hard for me to explain. The car ran 11.60 at 116 and the 60’ 1.60. Thanks Brett

Contact Fred Lee he designed and patented his own bolt in replacement rear end for the IRS. I bet he can steer you in the right direction. Plus he's right here in Michigan.

Shoot me an email speed.chad@gmail.com. Our car runs consistent low 1.30's (or 1.40 on the rear tires) with the same setup, except the rear spring.
