Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

My car had 170 lb srpings on the rear to start with,BB 1971 Duster, 3450 lbs, 1650 lbs on the back, I switch them to 150 lb. springs and that made the ride smoother, 130 lb springs would have probally been better but 1.39 60 ft. times foot braking my 727 made me grin Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
