Where to find 10" tall springs for Ground Control Weight Jacks???
It seems like the 2 main companies are Eibach or SSS (Suspension Spring Specialists). So I went searching for 10" tall front springs at 650# and 11" rears at 125#. So I went and contacted a handful of Eibach and SSS dealers and haven't had any luck finding a 10" tall spring.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks,
- Joel

When in doubt. Check with Coleman racing!
11" Rear pigtail style.
http://www.colemanracing.com/catalog...?cPath=49_1154
Coleman doesn't list 10" front, but here is 9-1/2"

Other than that, Ground-Control should stock a TON of diffrent Eibach rates and lenghts, you might also try Strano Parts.

Thanks for the link to Coleman John...I've forgotten about them.
That still is my problem though...Ideally a 10" front spring is what I want, but I can't find them anywhere.
I've spoken with a rep as SSS and I've also spoken with Sam Strano besides a handful of other spring dist. and have had no luck so far. 9.5" is the closest anyone has.

650#? What are you trying to do, hold the front of the car up with one spring?
If you use a 12" spring you can use a spring from any rear coil over system. Competition Engineering has the 12" springs in 85, 100, 125, 150, 200 lbs/in

650 isn't very big at all, I am running quite a bit higher rate springs that that.
Are you worried about coil bind with a 9.5" spring? I guess I am not sure why you need a 10" up front, the weight jack should have enough adjustment in it, to get whatever stance you are looking for.

Car: too many ...
Hypercoils or Hyperco Coils, AFCO (rears), SCP Springs are a few. SSS springs are sometimes called "Blue Coil" since they are blue. You can order directly from any of these manufacturers (www.bluecoilspring.com for example).

I bought 800# 9.5" fronts through Stranoparts.com last year for like 59.00 each. They are SSS. I had 8" springs in there and they were too short but the 9.5 is pretty good.
