Anyone have any experience in running the tall(stock height) 5 1/2" front racing springs versus the same rate 9 1/2" tall 5 1/2" racing spring using a spring spacer? Just wondering if the car reacts the same..

I'm kinda wondering the same thing, I'm running 9 1/2 springs now and I'd like to go to a taller lighter front spring. Would it have have a better weight transfer kinda like running the 20" 100lb LR spring?

I didn't ask what stock springs were, I asked about the difference between 9 1/2 springs using a spacer and a tall spring of the same rate without a spacer. Thanks in advanced..
