I was advised by BMR, to run Warriors. JPC has been 1.11 to the 60' with them, right out of the box. So that's what I have and what I used to get into the 8's, back in 2018.
BMR GT500 Drag Springs work well. I wanted the rear a little lower, so I switched the rears out for height adjusters and 10" / 150lb springs.
Thanks for the feedback. I called Viking last week, and their advice was the same- not to run Crusaders on a street drive car due to the high forces they would generate over bumpy roads. After describing my car and intended use, they suggested I wait to the spring for their pending release of “triple adjustable” front struts. They already released rear shocks. Apparently they are Warriors but with some additional adjustability and valving options. I’m not in a huge hurry, other than I was hoping to take advantage of possible Black Friday deals, so I’m probably going to wait on these.
