375lb vs. 500lb front springs
Hi Guys,
I am going to convert to front coilover shocks in the front. The manufacturer recommends 375lb springs. I went a little heavier than recommended in the rear and I am happy with my decision.
I was thinking of going with 500lb springs instead of 375lb. As my wife says stiffer is always better.
In your experience would going with the 500lb springs be a mistake for a Small Block? I just don't want to hit bad road conditions and bottom out too easily. The QA1 shocks will have adjustable settings.
P.S. I tossed this around the B & B forum but I wanted to widen the scope a little.
