    Front springs

    What are everyones thoughts on front springs for a chevelle clip? Would a 100 pound difference in the front be too much with the stiffer on thr RF? Say a 600 and 700?

        We've been running the lf heavier than rf since we went to the spring behind lr.

                He's driving a modified, not a dump truck.
                Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.

                  Helps turn the car in better, IF the rest of the car is set up right. Heavier spring gets the weight . A lot of people makes the right side heavier and it works for them.

                      our 09 shaw set up sheet calls for 600 lf.... 650 rf......

                      we have bounced all around those numbers.... down to 525 lf... 500 rf.... and have settled on
                      500 lf .... 550 rf....
                      " Most of my drivers have been new to 4 link stuff and I believe most of their chassis issues are really my driver issues....... "

                      see ya

                              What would be a tighter setup? 700 650 or 650 600?
