Rear coilover spring weight.....

[Anthony]

It's a mustang coupe. What lb should I start with? QA1 shocks, mini tubbed. Drag radials. I was thinking 150lb 12"

Any ideas other than that?

hey i have a set of hypercoil's #150 lb but i think they are 11in for $25

150's probably way to stiff!

 

[bigg]

yeah , i run 110's on the back of my S-10

[igotaneed4speed]

for a drag car you should use 14 #110 up ft

might have something to do with the weight of the driver on that one...

i was just going by my old vert heavy ass car, r block , vortech , full weight car.....

 

[want2bfast]

i'd start with 110's. it'll probably be trial and error. but like dave said 150 way too much.

strange struts, Maximum motorsports C&C plates, and 12/170's unless you have an aluminum block the 12 150's

 

[hangemhigh]

ya, dave's got 170's coming for me!

Dave put 150s on mine....

the 150s and 170 are on the front for the rears I seldom go over 130# and that is a 3300 to 3400 lb radial car with 51% on the rear!
