Calvert Shocks, best setting?
Any of you guys using the Calvert rear shocks on a 2nd gen Firebird/TransAm with old school lift bars or slapper bars? I have a set on my 79 and I have the SSM lift bars. Have tried different settings but got mixed results. Is it possible that you might need to set them differently side to side? It seems like the right side would need to be 'loose' to keep from unloading the tire when the body tries to separate from the suspension, or am I thinking about this all the wrong way? I do have shock extensions to cover the extra travel.
