Front spring rates for a '73 small block
Anyone know the stock and/ or "perfered" (no racing but maybe some autocrossing in the future) spring rate for the front coils on a small block car?
Also, what is the unsprung OAL?
The resto I'm doing has springs on it that sag like Rosie O'Donnels butt.
There is an excellent shop here in Houston that can re-tension them but I'd like to know what rates the membership recommends before I take them over so I can start matching up the front and rear sway bar sizes.
Thanks in advance.
