SPF Springs
What springs are most of you guys running for good, comfortable, (not teeth jarring) solid feeling street driving?
I'm running Cobra Valley single adjustable shocks and 350# springs front and rear and the car feels too soft. Much better than stock, but still too much up and down movement for me. On a relatively mild dip, I bottomed out the suspension with a passenger on board. I want the car to ride firm, but don't want it to chatter my teeth. So, what do you guys recommend? Would 400# springs make that much of a difference or should I go higher and stagger them front to back? I ride with a pasenger 98% of the time, combined weight of the both of us is about 325 pounds. |
Cobra Valley has a chart for spring rates based on how you use your car.
I personally prefer handling over ride comfort. Currently have 400's all around on my SPF and I'm probably going to step them up to 500's. |
If you have the QA1 shocks try turning the dial up for a firmer ride.

450 front / 400 rear assuming you have factory sway bars and 15 inch rims. I wouldn't go more unless your are competition driving.

I've got 17 inch wheels. Do you think 450's would be too stiff?
I've adjusted the shocks firmer but it doesn't firm up bounce, only rebound. |
I have the 450s all the way around, and run 15 inch rims on the street and 17s on the track. I find that the single adjustable CV shocks with these springs can easily adjust to the smoother yet confident feel on the street using the lowers settings, and I can put on my track tires, dial up the settings and get the firmer ride for the track. The 450s seem just right.
