Im in the process of building a metric chassis car to be ran on a semi banked (6* straights, 8.5* entry, and 12-14* middle to exits)1/4 mile asphalt "oval"...but its more of a circle its so stinkin small. the rules specify that i have to run a non adjustable stock mounting shock, so ive been looking at the the QA1, Bilstien, and Pro Shock stock mounting shocks and have no idea what valving i would need, any help at all would be awesome, thank you.

Sounds like a track here in Indiana that I have been very familuar with.Not knowing the setup your going to run I assume it will be a conventional type.I would use a pro #7 on the rf #6 lf a pair of #4's on the rear safe choice for the beginer.If you are able to use shocks that are different in rebound and compression(but noadjustable) It would depend on what you want to acheve (ie) bigbar soft spring,bumpstops,coilbind???

Yes i am planning on running a conventional set up...i have the car stripped down to the frame at the moment, but for the set up im planning on starting with 1000lbs on the left front, 900 on the right front, 225 on the left rear and 200 on the right rear with a 1'' sway bar. we run 8" goodyear slicks on the outside and DOTs on the inside, im planning on running 235/65s there. what do you mean by bumpstops and coilbind? kinda new at this game lol
