If we hit the limits of what these can do for us, I'm open to options. At this point we haven't made any chassis/suspension adjustments from our original starting point.

Which shock/spring vendor? Santhuff?

Real cars need real shocks that respond to change and have repeatability. I use santhuff. Others have found success with afco/menscer, bell/kinetic, Penske, jr1 to name a few.

No more of a truer statement than that.

For now we'll work with what we have, if they become the limiting factor they will be changed. I do expect we'll be able to hit consistent 1.1x 60's.
