    325 and 425 stacked would be 184.

    You could also have a custom spring manufactured.

    The best spring is the one that best matches the rest of your setup, your track, and your driver. A softer spring can make the lr corner come up higher. A softer spring could also fail to give the lr tire enough bite to even climb the bars.

    Your setup is a million different variables that all come together to make the car drive the way it is. You can make a car run the same lap times with a 400 lr, a stack of two 400 springs, or a 250 spring.

      Hyperco 14-185 is the part number for a 14" 185# spring.

      We have them in stock at $59.99 each.

        Are people actually running that spring in the left rear? I thought the fad of super light springs in the left rear was gone. Does it work with a 225+ pound driver?

          On a lot of cars, it is rarely being used. You could probably do ok with a block of wood.

            Im not going to give it all out but think about it,it will only take a minute,yes some people run soft lr springs but why and also if its that soft of a spring what about when you dump the gas or let off really quick,it comes crashing down so youll have to think about that also,just saying

              Never had any luck with the soft stuff. 225 was as low as I could go been as high as 275.
