You might want to ask this in the race section but you will probably need to know your current four corner weights for the good chassis guys to be able to help.


Old, tired, and sometimes broke down. Me, not my car...

Without knowing at least the overall weight or even better the weight on the rear tires it would be a WAG at best.

You need to know the rear weight of the car then
subtract the diff weight... but being you have a 2x3
chassis I wont even guess at the weight on the rear..
my moly tube chassis car has 85# springs on it...
as a ROUGH guess I would think about 110#.... thats
just a guess

I'm no help on your question but I'd like to know where the car came from too.
