WAY light for the front... or is it the back?
Spohn told (and sold) me- for the front- 350 SBC, 300 LS1.

Re: spohn qa1 coil over spring rate???????

the lighter spring will "work" because its longer (i hope) should be a 14" spring? Its a tad soft, but will provide good weight transfer on the track. For cruising it should be fine, but it will not be a cornercarver by any means.

if it does nto work, try a different spring, they are really not that expensive if you look around

Just a word of education- always try and run the longest spring you can without coil bind. The compression rate stays more constant in linear action through travel with a longer spring.
