Needing some imput on the front springs length on a metric car I'm building. Rules state it has to have the orginal factory control arms so that rules out the tubular control arms. I have put afco low friction ball joints and steel control arm bushings top and bottom with a 1022 afco easy up shocks but I put a 9.5 inch spring in it and now it sets way to low like almost on the bump stops on the control arm. So I was wondering what would be the best length to go with. Thanks for any help.

After you figure your ride heights you'll need to install some spring spacers to get it right.

If you Listen to Stock car Driver, and read his posts on springs and rates you will be on the right track.
