Doc -- just saw your race car ... can you steer me to where I can get 600 #/in springs for my 190 hybrid (I've put in a 3.6L AMG motor from a burnt '95 C-36). I tried Eihbach, then I cut down a pair of 500 SL springs .. still too soft, too much travel. Help?

I use "Hypercoils" 2.5" id 12" long 600# springs. To get ride height right cut to 11". Various spring companies have the same spring. I use a 9mm spring pad.

Thanks DOC -- will the 2.5" springs fit up front? Is the 9mm pad the "one tab" pad?

The only racing springs that will fit the front are hypercoils also. their off-road
5" outside dia will fit, spring rate will depend on how stiff you are looking for. 12" long, maybe 300-500#

I'm using 14mm pads 2tits on rear
