Ed,
From what I know, the only difference between the street and race versions are the base lenght. Rate is the same.

And I think it's because Alan expects the race cars to start life a few hundred pounds lighter than a street car.

My car does have the streets- I bought them from Dana Loomis who runs a 1750 in vintage racing. He put them in his race car, and it sat way too high. On my car, they are perfect.

I spoke with Alan when I installed them, and he basically told me how to set them up. Using the non damaged jacking points for refrerence, the rear should be 1.5 in higher than the front. My front height is somewhat dictated by the horrible roads found in SE MI, BUT I understand that a lot of vintage drivers are going with the higher settings so that the suspension works properly.

Now I am rambling....

Eric
