BBC springs/couple others

I actually sold the car the first of the year as a roller. I was running a 28 inch Hoosier and there was approximately 1/4 of a coil cut off the springs. You could get Santhuff springs, but they are much taller. I wouldn't cut anything off and just compress the crap out of the spring to get them on. I rented your typical coil spring compress and ran an impact on the springs to get them compressed enough to put them on. It took 3 of us to compress the springs. The impact makes it easy, but the springs were bowing like crazy and it was scary looking. I would have someone do them if possible. Last thing you want is the spring compressor slipping off.
