I have coilovers on the front of my car and im pretty sure its a 14-175 spring. And I think thats its too stiff, not getting much weight transfer and I have to have the spring retainer almost all the way down to get a good ride height. Car is full interior, has aluminum heads and fiberglass hood, battery still up in the engien compartment. Any suggestions?
A 175 pound spring should have some good transfer. Are your struts working properly, or do you have any way to verify if that's what the spring is?
you have to lighten them up a bunch....
i have 14-120's in the ft of my car....
I believe the spring might have the markings on it that say what it is. Been a few years since I put them on. When I bought the coilover kit the UPR guy recommended me these springs after telling him my setup and how I used my car. After I bought them and got home I found a chart that UPR had (which I can no longer find) that said that rate of spring was designed for a big block car. Which makes sense, because I literally have the adjusting collar down with about 1 thread left and still have an inch of clearance between the tire and wheel well opening. The car isnt a dedicated drag car, mostly street but they seem to be too stiff IMO. I could be wrong on the 14-175, but thats the number that pops into my head that they are.
12-150 should be good for dual purpose.
12-150. 14"s rub the strut body on my car.
