....oh NO, is my car NOT doing to 'hook' as well????? Cuz it already doesn't hook! But really as bad as it rode, I'll settle for comfort!!! Bill
thats good news i bought 250 pound springs for my car so now i really know they will work now , fyi softer springs will hook better then stiff ones..
.....ah THANK YOU, so I have my cake & get to eat it too??? HOOK & COMFORT????? Cool...... ;) Bill
Yup, no suspension travel on the rear means no weight transfer. The softer springs will ride better and should hook up the tires a lot better. Kind of like twofers at happy hour, huh???:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
I thought you were the twofers at closing guy!?!?
:eek: :LOL:
Softer springs will probably compromise handling but improve tire hook-up for stright line proformance.
Nah, they just get prettier at closing time. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:

Most of the spring makers use a color code on the spring. Usually it's just a dab or two of different color paint.
If you have a barbell set or a press, you can determine the spring rate by how much weight it takes to compress the spring by 1".
Now I can tell my wife the reason I'm keeping my dusty/rusty barbell set--to check my spring rates! :3dSMILE:Quote:
