I am in the first stage of researching shock options for my SLC track car, The original QA-1s, while functional are not suitable at the spring rates I will ultimately want to run on the car. I called QA-1 and they said that they cannot re-valve them and the model number on my car is no longer available. So now the search for a viable alternative starts. Since the Penske shocks are an upgrade option for SLCs from RCR I am wondering what model number they offer. Are they a special custom model configuration for SLC's ? Has anyone ordered a custom valving and spring package for them (track appropriate) ?
I can of course call Fran but I think I would like to do a bit of research before that. Any info would be helpful. Also, a model number would be helpful as well as full-length and compressed-length eye-to-eye center measurements. Do they use 2.5 or 2.25-diameter springs? I would like to stay with 2.5 springs as I have several and they would suit slow bumpy tracks at their lower spring rates. Then run the stiffer springs at high speed/smooth tracks
I am thinking I need R1100 lbs and F850-900 springs for the highest settings.
Anyone got any ideas ?
