Default Jay Billingsley, Madman, etc, Regarding Rear Springs...

To the best of your knowledge does anyone make rear springs in different height and rates for a stock type 4th Gen Suspension?

Obviously we have several OEM Variants, and then some Eibachs, and other lowering springs, just curious on what all is available.

Thanx in advance.

We have had a few "custom" direct replacement springs produced, but after track testing, always ended up back with the OE V8 rear spring. The simplest thing to do, though, is to fabricate a new top spring seat to accept the more popular 2.5" diameter, 12/14" tall, coil over style spring. This will open up the door to a myriad of choices. Hope this helps!

Madman told me the same thing on the coil over springs. That is what I am doing.

HOW HARD WOULD IT BE TO FABRICATE? WHAT WOULD BE NEEDED? PICS?
