Suspension for what?

I'm guessing by the 285s all around you are doing some type of road courses?

This seems like a good place to post this...

What would cause this and how do I get them out?

I'd check the rule book and see what class you want to compete in. If you're thinking STU it's no place to start. Having said that, if you still want STU it's big $$ to have a competitive 350 there and if you're not a seasoned ax driver you still wont be competitive there.

With 285's I assume you have aftermarket fuca's . Both will drop you into StU

This thread gives a lot of suggestions on conventional suspension for performance.

However, if yours spends more time on track/pylons, and you need/want/can run in class adjustability, you'll need to move to coilovers. But I recommend that if you do, spend the money on proven quality. There's COs from $500 to $2500 (and more). Figure on spending between $1000-2000 for a good set that will last and do the job.
