Front Springs for Autox

[Naumoff]

I will be interested also.
I have installed the wedges( Spring spacers cut to fit) and took out a spring and a half. It is a noticable improvement.
Car does not nose dive or dip out.
It doesn't roll as bad in turns.
I am running the 10" 300# springs.

I just ordered a set of 375# front springs, 9 inch. I am going from 325# in the rear to 350#, they will stay the same length 8". My front spings , 2 sets, are 10" 325# and 8" 350#, so I may have several sets to unload once I find the right combination.

Rick, keep us posted on how your new set-up works. I am interested in changing mine as well. My oil pan scar's are growing.

Rick,

What's the story with the Pro Shock 9" springs. Is this a special order that needs to be routed through Unique, or will Pro Shock do this for anyone directly? I take it these are black powder coated and not chrome?

Thanks,

Gary

Gary,

You are running a 550 LB spring, Right?
I would be interested in the same if not heavier. I am running a big block.
I am signed up for an Solo class with the SCCA on 8/5 in Frederick.
I have the spacers in right now and it is an improvement.
I might put in a couple more spacers but that starts to make the spring pretty short.
I am in England right now and will be back the 30 July, so it will be a quick turn around for me to go to the class when I get back.

Are you happy with the springs as far as the lbs.?

You could get them through Maurice, don't know if they can be bought direct.
They are black powder coated. Maurice has the info on them.

Thanks, Rick

Tony - Yup, 550s on the front, and I'm very happy with them. I was getting way too much nose dive with the 450s, and now the car stays much flatter, particularly under threshold braking. The ride on the highway really seems about the same as it was back when I had 350s up front, so no problem there.
