Re: Need Rear Ground Control Springs

Gotta ask.....Why so stiff for the rear? Even for road racing/autocross, that is a very stiff weight to use.

Running 325/30/19 and I want to slam it without having to worry about it coming down to far during suspension travel.

its a wreck waiting to happen, the back will be so stiff, you will have trouble turning without the *** end kicking out since you will have almsot no rear suspension

but, i do have a rear set with 250lb springs for sale, much stiffer than stock, and if you use a good shock with them, you shouldnt have any issues with bottoming out. Still a little to stiff IMO

the back has bumpstops too over the axle, for that matter, they will keep the rear from going too far and damaging anything.

FWIW, if you use a lower rear roll center, you use much heavier springs to compensate, so its not unheard of, but just not in this application
