coil over spring ratings - 06/02/18 01:47 AM
hey guys, i bought a new car & i'm swapping some parts over from my last car. one of the things i'm swapping are the coil over shocks off the rear. my last car was a ladder bar car & the springs i was using were rated at 130lbs. The new car has a 4 link & the springs on that are rated at 250lbs. The old car was a Dart with subframe connectors & is considerably more weight than the new car which is a tube frame car. now the new car used to run a blown Hemi into the 7.5's, i'm just making it a NA bracket car to run mid 8's. Should i re-use the 250lb springs or will the 130lb'ers be ok. Thge big differences are, less weight than before & changing from a ladder bar to a 4 link. The car did come with a set of 170lb springs in the spares box. I'm keen to hear what you think.
