OK.. so my car had bilstein struts on all four conrers with hothckis 1 inch lowering springs.

I just got my 10 bolt out, and am going to be putting a midwest fab 9 in. I have decided to replace some of the rear suspension while i have the rear end out.

My questions is should i go Hal qa1 f series in rear, with a 275 spring? Or should i just get rid of these lowering springs and get the 275 springs, and keep using the bilstein struts that i have. they have very low mileage on them, and trying to justify the money. I know the front the strut is alot more important for drag racing, and will end up with the hal qa1 r series probably.


Let me know your guys opinons, cause i have seen alot of people say leave rear suspension stock unless your going 9's or faster, and im thinking the 275 spring will be better then the lowering spring.

Does everyone suggest running the 275 spring in all 4 corners for drag racing?

Thanks, Chris

Ps the car gets drivin a little on weekends, and to the track. thats it. Im not looking for a road race setup. Car is geared for drag racing.

275 is a lot of spring in the rear, maybe 150 would be better for 1/4 mile

I honestly dont know. I have never done suspension on a fbody...
I was going off what it said on speed inc website. Maybe the 275 is for front? What springs do people put in the back?
