bfh to the area around the TQ arm, I am running Moser NON fabbed housing and Burkhart TQ arm. its a tight fit, but it nothing is hitting.

IDK if most of my pics I had in my build thread where with the 8" springs or not, I used to run 10" springs but never could get the car to sit low enough, but the 8" springs did just what I wanted with the car.

Thats good to hear about the suspension clearance with the 8" springs. I think I'll go with the 8". I can always machine a spacer for the other end of the spring if they're too low.

My floor took a lot of work to get it to sit that low, and I ran the stock fuel tank for a long time but I'm finally removing it because the rear end has almost rubbed a hole through it.

Ultimately I'd like to get the car to tuck more than where it's at in the pics below. Just need to find out what all is hitting and find a way to make clearance.

So far I have enough room/clearance to get the tires up into the wheelwell but I think the axle tube is hitting the 4" exhaust over the axle.

Anyone in this thread that posted they were considering going lighter than the 150# spring, what made your decision to switch? I'm not sure which spring rate I need. Did you guys end up switching and seeing better 60fts? I'm curious on results.

I tried 130 lb x 12 and maxed out on adjustment to get correct suspension height setting.

The springs are just there to hold the car up. Get a spring on there with enough rate that they don't collapse. The shocks are what do the work.

Sounds like they're collapsed. Seems like we had 10" 150 or 175lb springs on the back of ours if I remember right.

I was going to make a set and never got around to it.I like the ones that are adjustable inside the car.
