How to choose front springs

Bob F · 06-29-2022, 09:06 PM

Been thru a few sets of Moroso springs with different rates.
They all sit too high and I’ve got cut them to get the ride height.
Car weighs 1800# on the front and has no up lift when pulling on the front end.
This is a bbc iron head chevelle.

Randy Manns at fast shocks got mine right the first time no cutting coils, fit first time.
Landrum Springs.

In a Q and A session on This Is Bracket Racing, Justin Lamb spoke in some detail on front suspension. He mentioned Randy Mans at Fast Shocks as being very helpful.

Landrum has a good selection of OE front spring sizes and rates.
