Suspension Setup Help

[Siegel1719]

So what do you guys think of this suspension setup?
Its all for my 85 Iroc Camaro with a mild 454(500hp) and turbo 400, rear ends got a Differential Girdle, Welded Axle Tubes, 3.73 gear with zexel torsion. Front setup consists of 245 45 17 Eagle F1's, New Moog Springs and 90/10 Competition Engineering Struts. Rear is 275 40 18 Eagle F1s, New Moog Springs, Summit Adjustable Struts, Stock Panhard Bar, Jegster Non-adj torque arm, Custom Double Rod ended Lower Control Arms, Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets, and Welded subframe conectors. New front and rear sway bar endlinks too. Does this wound like a good street/strip setup to you guys? Also what do you recommend i set the rear struts at?

Thanks

Sounds like a good place to start! leave the rear a little loose at first if your tuning for the track!

You most likely won't hook on that tire.

Well i didnt choose the tire they came with the rims but why dont you think it will hook? I though the Eagle F1 was a really good tire? Well atleast it cost an arm and a leg. Might end up switching them out for some nitto 555 DR's if i get the extra cash.

with the 3rd and 4th gen suspensions get out some mickey thompson 28 inch tall tires . the 295 60 15 comes to mind as being a tire that hooks.

Well im running 18 Vette rims. So i need a tire that would fit a 18. Was thinking a nittor 305/45 18 if i get the extra cash but the Eagle F1s are almost brand new.

Might get it to hook on a nitto but its a stretch.

I have the same exact wheels / tire combo you have,
c5 Vette wheels and F1's 245 / 275.

My nearly stock (3.73, shift kit) 98 z28 auto doesn't hook with them on the street, but the suspension is all stock.

I just picked up a used set of Mickey Thompson's for the strip.
