Alan,

Will the 600# springs work with ground control style front hardware? (I don't know exactly what set of sleeves and adjusters is coming with the new car yet).

Kevin - Yes, they will work with Ground Control, or Global West, or any other 2.5" ID setup, and they are the right length for the Fbody.

The 175# springs are rear pigtails, right? I've got a 750/250 set up and was thinking about getting a pair of softer springs for the rear just to have some adjustability if its too tail happy.

No, these are all 2.5" ID coilover springs.

You want these: http://daymotorsports.com/proddisp.php?ln=...D.+X+12+Inches+ with no upper perch

or these: http://daymotorsports.com/proddisp.php?ln=...D.+X+11+Inches+ and use the OEM rear upper perch and maybe some spacer to get the ride height.

I see that now, sorry. I guess the 175# is for a rear coil over set up.

Both sets of 14" x 2.5" springs are from my old race car - I fabbed up my own weight jacks, with the tops of the springs in buckets, with adjusting screws poking up thru the rear deck. Between moving the centerline of the springs inboard, a bit, and the smaller dia springs, I was able to move the bump stops inboard so 17x11 GS offset wheels without spacers would not touch anywhere under any combo of bump,roll or droop.

You still have the 600s?

Might be interested.

Any thoughts on those up front with the 1LE swaybar in a third gen?

I have some 300's for the rear on the way.

Current setup is 370F 200R. Seems it may be too soft, especially in the rear.

Yes! Yes I still have the 600 x 10's they are still brand new. $80 + $11 USPS Priority Mail

I don't know 3rd gen well enough to say if that would be a good combo.

Spring has sprung again, time for more spring cleaning - spring into spring with some really, really springy springs. I mean, what else in this world do you get back back exactly what you put in? Buy these, put them on your shelf, makes the shelf look racy. My shelves are full.

All the springs in the opening post that are not marked sold, are still available. They will fit in a med or large USPS flat rate box, so $12 or $16 for 2day shipping in the lower 48.

Just in!

Black 300# x 11" pigtails. Good for a lowered roll center car. Seasoned. $70/pr + $16 USPS shipping

On a full weight car, these work well with the LT1 hard rubber upper spring perches - they add 1/2". The LS1 cars have soft rubber perches that don't work as well as the LT1 version. If you need the LT1 perches I'll throw in a pair with the springs, I have plenty.

I still have some space on my shelf! I'll need the LT1 perches too.

Alan,

I am on Strano springs (550lb front) for now, but if I lower my rear roll center are any of these rear springs you have for sale a good match? Seemingly your selections are probably too stiff. What you think?
