What do you recomend ?
« on: May 12, 2008, 10:05:10 PM »

What do you recomend and how will it look/sit.My spring relocation kit is in .I have .920 torsion bars and I'm putting sliders on the rear.What springs do I want ? I want the car to sit up some in the rear but not too high ( like the RR somewhere I seen pics of).I will be mostly street driving maybe the occasional trip to the strip.Do I want XHD or 2800,SS springs ....or maybe 3400 Huh I know the sliders will lower the car about a inch so how does that fit into the equation?? And they will be coming from the chrysler cataloge if that makes a difference .Pics of your car and how it sits would be nice!
Thanks!

I had the SS springs, I think they were 3200 lbs springs, not sure... for a 67 dart with auto and small block.  It raised the car about 3 inches and gave a good rake.  I had to raise the front though to get some weight dist cause with the ass in the air it would break the tires loose easier.

Most guys use the 3000# springs in A bodies - the 002-003 springs. I just installed a set and they look like they'll work out.

I have a pair of 3400# manual trans springs I briefly installed in my Duster. Forget those. They are supposed to be correct for a B body, but I think they might be overkill for them as well. They are VERY wrong for an A body.

I considered 2800# springs, but I couldn't find anybody who tried them with a manual trans. I'm sure they will hold the rear end in the air, the question is whether or not they will hook.

All the SS springs seem to sit pretty high. That's part of the design, I guess.
