I have a mod that is somewhat heavy, saying that is has been put on a diet this winter. my question is having a car that weighs 2450 + should i run heavier rear springs? Now my knowledge is spring height x's spring weight gives you the max load the spring will fully take at coil bind. I want to run 325 on lr and 300 on rr. let me know what your thoughts are: thanks

325 lr and 300 rr would not work out very well you wouldn't get the wt to transfer to the rear. I have seen 250 lr 225 rr on an older converted chassis with 2x3 rec tube rails but that car was in the 3000# area.

Thats way too heavy. My car weighs 2450 (with driver) I'm running 200 LR and 250 RR on a swing arm (equates to 168 at the wheel)
