Thanks for the reply George. I guess I will replace them with a new set of SS springs for the vehicle weight. CalTracs might be a future upgrade for me.

Any advice on clamping the front portion of the springs? Some say to do it, some say to leave them alone. I'm sure it is easy enough to mess with while at the track. I am currently running a snubber set 1/2" from the floor while the suspension is supporting the vehicle weight. I have been told that I have too much body rise and need to control it to improve the 60' times. Viewing pics I see at least an 8"-10" distance from the tire to the wheel opening at launch, 1" while at rest. I run Koni 90/10s with 6 cyl torsion bars in front and 50/50 Konis in the rear. Just curious if clamping the spring would help?
