Protech spring settings

As I misunderstood another thread about Protech settings, IŽll make my own thread instead

What settings do you have on the Protech springs with an car engine installed?
I use a Pinto engine.

jonte,i have 375lb on the front of mine,adjust the ride height to 4-5 inches and set the damper adjuster about half way(10 or so clicks out) and see how it goes.
a lot depends on the road surface,tyre size/pressure/your driving style/idea of comfort etc

ok

my Indy is gonna be driven on public roads. I have 195/50-15" tyres and donŽt want soft dampers the U.S style

i have spent over a year setting mine up,got it near enough right now with those springs,the rest is just drive and see how it handles,adjust 1 thing at a time and see if it gets better or worse,try 20psi front and 18 rear in yr tyres.
these cars are sensitive to change,a few gallons of petrol in the tank or a passenger make a difference,its not like drive and forget production cars
