This is from Morosos catalog.

Moroso "Trick" Front Springs are designed for maximum weight transfer. Trick Front Springs are tall, small wire diameter coil springs that hold a great amount of stored energy for instant weight transfer. Listed below are springs that have been computer designed for the specific applications indicated. Each spring is the correct rate for the particular application and, in most cases, may be installed with no modifications.

It may be necessary to modify the springs to get the desired front end height. If the front end is too high it may be lowered by cutting off one-half of a coil. Many factors affect the front end height. Wheel offset is a major consideration. A front wheel offset to the outside will increase leverage of the lower A-frame against the coil spring, and the nose of the car will be lower. Disc brake spacers will further affect the height. Adding or removing as little as 50 lbs. can also make a big difference in front-end height. Take this into consideration when adding a fiberglass hood, aluminum heads, or when putting the battery in the trunk. Although these changes will affect the height of the car, the spring rates will be unaffected as long as you stay within the guidelines of our definitions. Sold in pairs.

You'd have to talk to PSJ about that one (the Mod).

I guess I have too much free time these days (if I'm not working on sombodys race car or autocrossing).
