Default suspension setup for drag racing

Who's good in s/e Vic. I've been to a few places which proved fruitless. Came back with more issues than it started with. ie pinion angles, leaf springs etc. Getting sick of broken uni's.

I'm in no hurry but want it sorted ASAP when the car gets rolling again.

Try a call to Nick Xerakias from northern dynamics in preston. 9470 6044

Nick's A/street falcon has run 9.78 @ 138 mph, and there is no faster man than him with a leaf spring setup.

Failing that, I would call John parisi at City bus and truck in campbellfield, he has pulled some monster mono's in his day, also in the 9's.

These cars had 350 cube cast iron headed engines with 3500lb weight, so were talkin some serious mumbo.

Both these guys dont build drag cars, but they set records so you would be recieving the right advice.
