Is this the Coil-Over Package utilized by the RPM Transmission C6Z06 that pulls 1.3 60's?
I did buy a really nice used set of Pfadt Inverted Shocks that will be delivered Thursday. Do you have any drag racing damper setting recommendations? However, you never know when the urge to upgrade bites!!

The package that RPM is using on that car are similar spring rates, but on our older Classic Coilover Design. The new FeatherLight Generations, which the parts pictured are built upon, are lighter and stronger than the Pfadt Classic design. RPM has done extensive spring rate testing with those coilovers though, and done an excellent job getting the most out of their parts!
If you were setting up the inverts for drag racing we would start out at almost full soft in the front, and somewhere in the low-middle of the adjustment range for the rear. Maybe 2 from full soft in the front, and 6 from full soft in the rear. That will allow the front shocks to lift, while it should provide enough platform in the rear to keep the car from extreme squat and power forward. However the adjustments are easy to perform, so use these as a suggestion and feel free to experiment while at the track.
