How soft on front springs

[TeamGRT12x]

That stuff may work in the IMCA, and the sanction bodies that run the hockey puck tires.

I agree, but in IMCA, you can't get away with anything under a 500. It has more to do with a suspension setup in the back than it does just being a soft spring. Tires with more traction, obviously won't need as soft.

Hmmmmmm......I wonder why supers are running a 200-225 RF spring rate (stacked of course)

Why arent some of you mod guys doing it?

It can be done, as I have put one on a car already.

stacked coil overs are a whole different ballgame obviously...

Each car will be a little different, so youll have to: 1)remove spring
2)back wedge bolt all the way to the top
3)measure from bottom of wedge bolt plate to bottom of lower spring mount
4)Search the spring mfrs to find 2 spring heights that will fit.

That should be enough info to get yall thinkin what you will need to finish it!

I beleive you will find that you need a little heavier rear springs with your soft front springs. Before you change back to what you currently have try a stiffer compression right front shock if bottems out to quick. Also might have to raise ride height a little.

Is a c/o on the front legal in the mods?

[drtrkr244]

Another tidbit of info; Just think of using the wedge bolt like a c/o.

Why stack em? I be likinG there idear of running 20" rar springs in my front... it shud wok grate.

You stack them because if you tried to run a single spring of that weight it will bow and twist and it will not last. We have run a 650 LF, 275 RF 133LR and a 225RR in a winning crate latemodel.

I have not found any negatives to running a stacked spring setup. Once you get it setup properly , you just set it and forget it.They are not as temperamental as some people say they are.

There has not been many setup inventions that gives as many positives without the negatives.

You get the combined soft rate to get in the corner, and the stiffer bottom spring to get you off.

what mod classes allow more than 1 spring per wheel?

Exactly what I was thinking

On the car , Where I put the stacked spring, you wouldnt know theres two springs there.Their both the same color and with the spring tucked under the frame you hardly notice it.

My guess is he is using pull bar springs. At least the top one would have to be because its flat on both ends.

around here guys that get in the top 4 get teched. that wouldnt last to long. how does your car handle when it legal?

[drtrkr244]

It belongs to a customer of mine. This weekend will be the first race with the stacked spring.

I matched the motion ratios with a lm, so I dont expect any problems.

OK gentlemen with race night done and over I can say the soft right front does work and no bump stop on the RF. The car drove great in--thru and off the corner with that said the only problem being able to break the tires loose going down the straight at will.

adjust the driver's right foot rate of throttle application :-)

[drive3b]

I'm not sure his driver came with that option!
