I run bell tech 2" drop spindles, but for a big block on a 350 motor truck so that way I can use big block rotors/calibers. I do both auto x and NASA track days. No problem. I would like to find a stiffer shock. Does anyone Know the different rates between Bell tech shocks,bilstins,KYB or Qal's?

Hi Tricky,

Can you share with us the different specs of the spindles, brakes & rotors for SBC & BBC truck applications in your model range ?

Photos would be awesome if you can round some up too.

I have tested several shock combinations and currently am running Bilstein HPS 1000's on the front with adjustable QA1's on the rear.
