front end limiters?

how does one determine if there a need and how much would you want to limit it too, pics or a source would be appreciated, sorry for the newbie ? looking at getting the best weight transfer on the galaxie and am going to throw some small block springs in the front and look at these limiters

Hey Rick,
I'll give you my opinion on limiters, I'm no expert at all but I've run limiters on everything I have raced and it's been a very useful aid. I only want enough travel to keep the front wheels from bouncing off the ground going down the track, that's the tightest I will usually run. Having limiters is just another tuning piece for the chassis and the bonus is you can help your reaction times by limiting the travel on the front.
I'm actually making a set that you can adjust with quick release pins, that way you can make quick adjustments in the staging lanes without crawling under your car.

Its a product/combination of hp, weight of car, and front/rear weight bias, that will determine the need/use of limiters.
If the car is wheelie prone, they are a must, but to use them on a car that doesn/t transfer well, they will only make it worse......
Personally I have never noticed a difference in reaction time with/without limiters....but I could be an exception...
