How to choose front springs
 

Been thru a few sets of Moroso springs with different rates.
They all sit too high and I’ve got cut them to get the ride height.
Car weighs 1800# on the front and has no up lift when pulling on the front end.
This is a bbc iron head chevelle.

In a Q and A session on This Is Bracket Racing, Justin Lamb spoke in some detail on front suspension. He mentioned Randy Mans at Fast Shocks as being very helpful.

Landrum has a good selection of OE front spring sizes and rates.

I have the same combo as you, and randy set me up with the 200lb/in rate landrum spring.

Re: How to choose front springs
 

What length?
Did you have to trim it?

Re: How to choose front springs
 

18 inch and no. Nice spring, installs easier then the trick spring.

Here they are!

Randy Manns has been helpful for me and has provided some very nice components that worked very well.

Marty Rinehart has also been helpful with Landrum springs and advice. I've had to touch the spring lengths up to get the ride height exactly where I wanted it, but not like the other brands we've used.

Landrums are basically set and forget. You don't have to set the car up high so it settles to where you want it after they are installed. And I have yet to see them sag, even on the heaviest cars.

Basic guideline to rates IMO, use the lightest rate spring that you can get compressed and into the car and will hold the car at the desired ride height, with minimal or no trimming. Then put a (very) good set of DA shocks or struts on it, built for your application, to control the whole thing.

So far Randy has been unavailable.
