OK. I was not even aware of a short or long spring. I do know I have the 300lb spring. How do you tell?

I think he has two or three heights of springs. You can check your part numbers to see which ones you have or unwind them until there is no load on them and measure the height. We did this several years back and if I remember right there were 8" 10" and 12". Even better yet call Mike at MPR and give him the weight of your car and what sort of power level you have and let him know what is in the car now.

Its funny this weekend I had the same problem lol. My limiters arent easy to adjust but I couldnt keep the front end down for crap leaving off the brake, even with the front shocks at 8 (strange SA). Footbrake was just fine, last pass I figured I'd up the power a little down low since the one before didnt seem too bad and I got a little surprised again. I have about 3" in the limiters now so I'll have to try something else
