Re: I need a little help with Trick Front Springs

I did the math that was posted up in suspension 101 and I came up with 1585 for my sprung weight(with racewheels and current weigh reduction). After working in the leverage ratio, I'm left with 1505(if I did it right). I think I want a compressed height of 9"...so with a 17" spring I'd need a 190lbs rate. I'm gonna call around and see who makes something like that.
