The car was built by Jim Bell for Grand-Am GS II, and I think the seemingly way-out-of-the-box springs and bars were chosen for the pro driver (Terry Borcheller) and the tracks they were running on. I had to add serious aero to it to make it work for me.

When rebuilding the shocks for that car, Moton was given the spring rates and the corner weights. I don't know if they altered their normal rebuild process to suit those factors. The plots can be seen here: http://s253.photobucket.com/user/Fas...20Dyno%20Plots
