275 spring question
hey guys, Ive been searching here like crazy for the last few hours, and cant seem to find a definitive answer. Ive got a full weight Trans Am. I just purchased a pair of QA1's for the front from a buddy on the cheap. Well he thought they had 300 lb springs, but ended up being 275's when he took them off. My question is, will these springs be OK? The car isnt a daily driver, but does see ALOT of street time. I drive it to the track and back, no trailor. Its a street car.

Not alot of change from 275 to 325. You will have more over all roll with the 275. Also you will have more dive while braking. Make your ride hight a lettle higher and you will not have a problem. They are a better drag race spring. I would never put that on a car that needs to handle. But I would never use QA1.
