I have the fronts only and have them set at 4.

fronts at 4 and rears at 6 but since you got such light springs in the front maybe a little tighter

Fronts on 1 and rear on 5.

thanks for the info.

I got the lighter spring because i drive the car on weekend and usually just to the track.DO you guys think that was to light of a spring?it said for drag use.

does anyone preload the front springs? if so how much like in inches how much did you preload them ?

well what kinda wieght reduction do you have?
if you are full wieght then you will have to crank that spring allthe way up the shock to get the proper ride hight and it will be easier to bottem out on the street

now if you took a good amount of wieght off the front then no worries

that sucks because its a stock weight car but i am goin to remove some stuff here soon. what do you think i should remove from the front end?

thanks,
Jason

idk man its a street car then there is mot much to do

bumper support, ac, k member, battery

it may be easier to go and get the heavier springs...for a full wieght auto car go with the 300 springs...straight from madmans mouth

i have a full wieght 6 speed car so i ahve the 325 springs

if you plan on doing some real wieght reduction then keep the 275s

Blwn98z28 Sep 1, 2006 04:13 PM

alright thanks man. im goin to do alot soon just not at this moment so ill jsut buy the 300s and then keep the 275s for now and then switch back later. they were only like a 100$ so no biggie.
