Re: Got front coil overs? Come on in!!
You guys are miss understanding me. I JUST need the springs, everything else has been purchased (double aa performance stuff). I live pretty close to summit racing which is why i didn't order the springs when i ordered the rest of the stuff. Makes it a lot easier to return if I get the wrong one. Just looking for length and spring rate, not who i should buy it from

Jason @ PA Racing said I needed 14", 175lb springs when I got my setup from him......All aluminum LS3 based motor.....might be a good starting point or maybe 200lb I would say.....you have a cast iron block

Re: Got front coil overs? Come on in!!
I will just give my opinion and its just that.. I have a 91 bird and though I have lightened it pretty significantly when I used the 14" 175 hypercoils they were too stiff. They didnt compress very much and couldnt even get the car low enough. I am using the racecraft cc plates mustang strange struts with strange coil over kit. I also used a set of 150 on it and seemed better but pulled the motor and started a rebuild before I got very far with it. My car had a alum headed sbc.

i just sent Jason my first installment at PA Racing for my new k-member, a-arms, coil-overs, CC Plates, and billet ls1 mounts hoping that sunday will be a successful day for me at the swap meet and i can get the rest to him. i'll still be running lakewood 90/10's though

What's the part number for those Strange struts? Single or double adjustable?
