Help with Santhuff coil springs

68Coupe · 09-24-2010, 01:06 PM

I have a 68 mustang with stock arms weights 3100lbs w/driver and 1700lbs on the front . I bought a set of the Santhuff 150lb springs off a guy who never used them.

First off i put them in and they are so bowed i can't even get the shocks on, and the car sit way high. So i cut them put them back in and the shocks fit and the ride height is right.

Car normally pulls front tires about 6-8" and carries them out @20 feet. Go to the track and the tires are lucky if they get a inch of daylight.
On top of the front end of the car stays up all the way down the track. It is like the car isn't heavy enough to push the springs back down. At the top end where the front end is normally @2 inches higher than at rest it was @8 made car feel very unstable.
