Thanks Carson. What size rims are those? I'm on 15s now and trying to get an idea where the fender lip will end up.

Pete. Gmachinedartgt had them and didn't like them. May want to pm him and ask him what the deal was.

Many issues with them on my Dart. Too low and very weak front segment. Wrapped up under acceleration. Basically undriveable. Maybe for a lighter lower powered car they work but not for me.

I have side by side pics of these springs and other springs.

Thanks GMachine. I'm just looking for a HD spring that will drop my Dart just a bit. Just a streeter with a mild 360

Gmachine sells a nice spring that will be perfect for what you want.

This is the turbo Scamp that was done for Fram Corp. This is a side by side photo of the stance with the H spring and mine. The wheel is an 18".

Tell me about your springs, rate and how many leafs. Are these a direct bolt in? What's your price on them. Thanks GMachine

 

[GMachineDartGT]

My spring is 6 leaf, 130 lb and a direct bolt in. $595pr.

i have a set on jamies dart.. much firmer then the 5 leaf espos that were on it.. now it feels like my 1" torsion bars are too soft.

only thing i wish i had done was listen to pete and get the -1" set instead of the stock height. it sits a tad to high for my taste.

i'm only running a 15" wheel

Thanks guys. Good picture for reference Joe.

looking for a spring at 160 and lays flat. I have Hotchkis but I'm looking for an upgrade.

Are you going to get rid of the Hotchkis leafs Joe?
