I thought you flexed it up to where you would like your set up to be and work it out that way??

How do I work out the height I will need and the spring rate.
They range from 14" to 18" in height.
Dobinson Springs can make them for me.

It is not on the road and will only be trailered.

Any help will be great...


There are a lot of things to consider when doing a coil conversion, have you got the linkage design sorted?

IMO you should start with 175lb springs and go from there.

Is the car finished
Ur best off getting the weight of each corner so that they have a idea of where to start
What link set up are u running
where r u putting the coils ie in under or outside of the chassis
I would have thought that coil and shock selection would be one of the last thing to get for a build

And to get the correct ride height, its going to be abit of trial and error.
