what kind of front springs should i run

[jilge71]

i talked to marcus at sc&c and he said 550# springs for my set up but just checking on a brand that is reliable. i have a ca rear coilover setup in the rear with 175# springs and a spohn rear adj sway bar and in the front i just ordered upper and lower spc ca's stage 2 and a hellwig front 1 1/8th front bar with double adj varishocks in the front... i dont know if i want the full set of spc springs if i only need the fronts but if the fronts are pricey then ill just get the matched set. any feedback would be awesome.....oh and its going on a 71 chevelle with a smallblock for now...

550# springs is a good all around rate, and may be firm on the street, but will be enough for the track. Keep in mind stock was about 300#

X2 on 550#. That's what I'm going with.

Marcus knows his stuff. I have used Hyperco springs (on the rear) and am happy with them. Speedway only sells the fronts in high rates (925 to 1450 anyone? :eek:) Look for others from the circle track suppliers. The springs run about $50 each. Note that most of these are short and meant to be used with adjusters. Ask Marcus for the length you should get.
