As others have said, call Marty Rinehart. He got me the correct Santhuff/Landrum springs the first time, no trimming required, exact stance I was after.

Guys who know what they're doing (like Marty Rinehart and many good chassis builders) will tell you that there shouldn't be much guessing (where you install and check, cut and re-install, etc.). If the weights are known, there will always be a range of spring rates around that weight. You pick something that is likely to put you low, medium or high and you'll be very close. If you find you're not exactly where you want to be, just change to the next stiffest (or softest) spring.

Thanks every one. Called and talked to Marty Rinehart. Ordered a set of Landrum springs and Santhuff shocks. Great guy to deal with. He suggested which spring to install. Just received them today, and going to install them this evening. The shocks were going to take 4-5 weeks to build. He offered to remove the ones from his own car, (which only had 5 runs on them) and send them to me so I could get it back together so we could have it ready for the baby gators. What a great guy to deal with. You don't see that kind of customer service hardly anywhere now days.

Well, Marty Rinehart hit it right on the head. He suggested the 200 lbs Landrum springs. I installed them last night. Perfect ride height, and I've got just about 1" space between the lower control arm bumper and the frame. It sure does pay to use these professional guys that surely know there craft. Thanks for all the suggestions here on class racer, glad we have such good people here to help us with some of the technical questions.
