Default Road Racing suspension setup for 05-09

This may drag on a bit so sorry in advance. I have a 07 GTCS, I have the FRP lowering and handling Kit, CHE adjustable lower control arms and lowering brackets. I have GT 500 wheels and Goodyear F! supercar tires(245/45r18 frt, 285/40r18 rear) and it handles well. I am toying with the idea of changing over to the Eibach Pro R2 suspension. I am an auto technician and might look to expand my knowledge. I like the concept of being able to adjust rebound and compression settings on the dampers independently. I am curious if I am apt to notice any real difference in slight adjustments on the street or in short track sessions. With the blower this car may be a bit much for serious track use with my level of driving ability. Does any one know where I might research what kind of adjustment will give what kind of handling change. Searching the web I find tons of info on setting up motorcycles or mountain bikes but nothing of any depth on cars or specifically Mustangs

Since the blower install this thing is a rocket. CHE Adjustable Lower Contols Arms and Anti Squat Brackets. I have now changed to GT-500 wheels and tires to allow for the install of the Ford Racing 14" Brembo brake set-up.

Have you tried to contact Sam Strano at Strano Performance Parts (www.stanoparts.com)? He is by far one of the most knowledgeable in the S197 handling department. He captured the SAAC National Champion title for the last 2 years in FS Solo II, driving a Shelby GT. Give him a call or drop him a line, you won't be disappointed.

I will do that. A contact I have at MillerMotorSports Park said he would have one of the guys that prepares the Miller Cup cars give me a call. They use something similar.
Thanks
