Hey I was just wondering if anyone knew the best spring poundige for the rear springs. I just picked up a set of rear springs for $20 with new nolathanes in them. they are single or doubble (cant rember) leaf so im assuming the poundage has been change so im going to test them and id like to know what poundage they should be.
cheers.

poundage for what use???

sorry i should have been more specific. Im building a track and sprint club car so its prety much going to be only for the track and occasional road sprints.

Again, dimlight comes in with a post that probably won't help. I don't know any numbers but what we did on the Chickenhawk was to remove one leaf from each rear spring. Our thinking was to soften the rear and get more weight transfer for acceleration. The car still handled like a rollerskate, but that was probably due to the fact that it was so low it bottomed out the axle on the frame pretty quickly. At that point, there was no more body roll. I guess thats also how I got away with no sway bars. A bit noisy, but effective.

Best to think pretty much 1200 body weight / 4. I'll be doing that for my rear coil-overs.

I've had more Cascade Lagers than I can remember..what's wityh us Aussie blokes and beer...I went to a flash Sydney city pub..very little VB there..sorry B.A. Bob.

..Oh..it must be Friday already :)

thanks, i guess if anyone actually knows the correct poundage for the rear leaf suspention in a 1200 coupe set up for the track it would help
cheers
