Hey guys, looking for a starting spring length and rate for aluminum headed small block using a 2" drop spindle and strange mustang struts. Glass hood and no accessories other than an Alt if it matters. Also relocated bat and no front bumper. Tried to but couldn't really find anything. Thanks in advance!!

 

might be worth a call to racecraft or pa racing, lol.

 

i second racecraft. they are great. best bang for the buck

 

Give me a call I've run the racecrafts on two thirdgens

 

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

 

well, i was saying, call racecraft to buy your springs through because they will give you the tech advice based on real world results. you can buy just the springs through them, lol.

 

Will do

 

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

 

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.

 

TRZ recommended a 150lb starting deal with a 12" length if lowered, 14" if standard height. Think imma start with those and see where we're at

 

Them boys are smart!

Might have to wait a while for on the car pictures

But some hoarding car parts pictures for ya anyways

 

oh boy! are those the strange struts?

 

yup , got a few other misc things layin around too but too many individual pictures. Don't feel like asking the wife to take a group photo since i already get yelled at for all the packages that she has to sign for

 

:drool:

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?

 

S2041 , double, mustang

 

Nice!

Keep the pics and updates coming!
