I run whats called a Thunder Car on a high-banked 1/4 mile oval (Anderson Speedway).  Its a four door caprice.  I also have a street stock.  I had been running fwd and this is my rookie season with the wheels pushing me instead of pulling me.  Im looking from some real good advice on whats springs to run on all four sides on both cars.  The street stock is a metric car so I know its a little bit different. Im also taking advice on castor degrees and differential, camber degree, and tow.  Im thinking the following for the thunder car so far..springs: lf 1000, rf 1200, lr 150, rr 250....castor lf 1 degree and rf 3 degrees.  I would appriciate any advice and input anyone has.  Thanks

Front spring's sound little high but should be ok. As for the rear springs, run the heavier rear spring on the left side not the right. Plus the rear should only be 50lb split. LR:225 RR:175 should work well. If you use the heavier spring on RR it will make you very loose. Castors at LF:-1 to +1 and RF:+3 is about right for 1/4 mile.
