Stiffer springs or not?

ERStettin · 05-02-2006, 05:16 PM

I am the white coupe and my buddy is in the blue coupe. Do you think the tire is unloading due to the front end being too loose? My suspension is Lakewood 70/30's up front, 50/50's in back, 4 cylinder springs up front, stockers in the back, Global West Subframe connectors, Global West Track Link, Global West Lower Rear Control Arms and Steeda Anti Roll bar. Best 60 ft has been a 1.40.

Put some good springs on it, The 4 cyl spring/air bag crap works but that was only because thats all that was available back then. BTW Ed very nice car! The blue cars suspension seems to work well, Try not to use stock springs anywhere on your car.

Yeah, I have been told I need a stiffer spring up front but with a 1.40 60 ft. I wasn't complaining. I just hope the switch will get me in the 1.3 range. Thanks
