It comes down to the driver and all this comparison between 33 and 31mm, Wevo vs. SRP most likely means nothing. If someone can bring their (now) "D" Stock car to WGI (or any of the other tracks he destroyed the record) and beat Mike I.'s record in a Dan J. car i'll start thinking about my setup being off.. until then i'll go ahead and figure it's me that sucks..
Good LUCK!

David, the adjustable Fox shocks sound great, but at $2800 vs. about $500 for the revalved Bilsteins I am not sure it is a good bang for the buck. I don't know any of the local guys running our cars who have the Fox shocks.

I know, I just am trying to learn more about the various options, I'm not planning any changes, but you need shocks right?

I believe they are completely legal as long as you use them with your t-bars and....
New rule: 8. Add to stock class rules: “Non-stock factory shock housings with potentially adjustable spindle height are allowed if welded in the stock position and hub mounting matches factory dimensions”
But like you said earlier this stuff does not fix the drover.

I found my alignment settings and thought I'd share in case anyone is interested.
My shocks were revalved by Bilstein to match 23/31 torsion bars. The rates are 240/130 for the front and 380/140 for the rear. I know SRP has a different formula but I do not know what it is.
I first had Buckley do my set-up in May 2005, this was before I added SRP sways. I then had Mayo's put their spin on things when the sways, cage, ballast, and other mods were finished to prepare for NASA GTS-3. This was Jan 2007. Both sheets are attached.
