Default What spring to use after mini tub/ & Wolfe spring adjuster?

When the car is mini tubbed, I plan to use a smaller diameter spring, along with the Wolfe adjusters, to gain all the clearance I can get.

What rate spring to use on a street driven car? Mid 9 sec car. I want something that is the same, or close to the stock spring.

Thanks. Who makes that spring, QA1? Can I get that through Thunder?

Does that spring have a smaller diameter than the stock one?

madman, for a strip car that sees very seldom street time would you reccomend that same 175x12 spring or something different?

I've got a 150x12 under mine. I ordered mine through Spohn because I knew the part number (and I'm a dealer for them ).

I will be more than happy to sell you the springs. I have either AFCO or QA1 in stock in the 2.5" sizes.

On a drag car I usually use the 150lb. x 10 "
