Re: Racing Shocks!
You don't really want the rear to squat. If it's squatting, it's absorbing weight transfer. You just want to make sure it isn't too stiff so that it doesn't move at all. Once the car starts working, the rear should actually rise and separate.
What are you using for rear springs and rear traction bars?
For the front. Take the springs out, and the shocks off, see if the suspension moves freely. If it doesn't, something is bound up. Then put the shocks on, run the adjustments to full soft for both compression and extension, and test for free movement again.
We use regular small block springs, not the trick springs. We also switched to Santhuff shocks, you have to hit the Afco shocks harder to get them to work.
