mII spring rate.
hi all. new guy here looking for a bit of advice. i have a 1953 ford mainline 2 door with mII front suspension, 302 4 speed auto with a/c and power brakes. car is for the most part complete (i.e. paint, interior and the like. power steering is next). i put new springs in it for a mII with v8 and air. i think the spring rate is 375. anyway, after installing, and allowing it to settle, i seem to be right back where i started from. yes i know i need a weight for the car to more accurately decide where to start from, and no i didnt get one due to the fact there really isnt a convenient place to get a weight near me, i am having to go by best guesstimate which im thinking is in the 3200 lb range.
just looking to pick somebodies brain on this subject. there are a few dirt modified racers near me, but i dont know any of them and i doubt they all would have individual wheel scales.
any help would be appreciated.
Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
