Spring exchange thread

[Pranav]

With the recent discussions, figured this is worth a shot. Post up what you have and are willing to sell/loan out to others. Nice to avoid paying new prices on springs...

I'm looking for 8x2.5" 700-800lbs and pigtail 225-275 for the rear of my fbody.

[Supercharged111]

I'd like to get my hands on an 800-900# spring so I have a small step down from the current 950. If anyone's set up their car differently and has/doesn't want/didn't like that rate I'd like to buy them. I'm an RM guy for those who don't know

[Pranav]

Found a front pair for myself on ebay.

Looking for a 250 and 275 rear pair for the f-body. Specifically the 11" x 5.5" pigtail variety.

[Supercharged111]

I got some for $84 shipped from Southwestspeed. No new/cheap/good springs to be had up front for that price.

Misty may have some 250#'s that are rolling around the shop. I'll look tomorrow morning and let you know.

Thanks Matt

ARGH now I find this site. Oh well bookmarked for later!

Yeah, it was a pleasant surprise for me too!

[Pranav]

They've got the pigtails for $33 a pop, what a steal.

I already got a pair of 275s, just will get with Matt or that site for the 250s...

[AI#97]

Here is what we have...2 of each obviously:

5" diameter, no pigtail, 10" long X 175#
5" diameter, no pigtail, 10.5" long X 200#

Sorry Pranav, no 250#.

2.25" internal diameter...mustang rear coil over, 8" x 400#

2.5" int dia, 10" X 450#
2.5" int dia, 10" X 750#

Most are blue coil brand, hyper coil and the 2.25"are Landrum


I am about to convert the rear of the camaro to coil overs and will have a couple threaded spring perches available for the rear.

Make offers. Can bring to TWS or ship. I take paypal.

[Pranav]

NP, thanks for checking!

Misty may have some 250#'s that are rolling around the shop. Pranav, I *think* I have the 225s on the car and may have a pair of 250s in the shop. I'll be over there Wed and will try to remember to look and bring them to TWS.

[Pranav]

Thanks, let me know!

Looking for just the 250s at this point...

[Fbody383]

Looking for just the 250s at this point...I put the 250s in the "trunk" last night. AND... they're Aggie maroon! Whoop!

[Pranav]

Thanks Dave!

[Supercharged111]

I wouldn't bother with 275s, I may end up with 250s at some point. I like the way the car is now with the 275s, but they would not match a lighter front spring at all. The car is looser with 275 than 325 out back, figure that one out!

[Pranav]

Got 275R and 750F on the car right now. After I grab the 250s from dave I'll be swapping between the two to see what I like better...

[Fbody383]

Got 275R and 750F on the car right now. After I grab the 250s from dave I'll be swapping between the two to see what I like better...I don't know now... if you're going to get faster, I don't think I can support that. 750/275 now? How do you keep it pointed forward?

[Pranav]

I'm not sure...

I was on 600F/200R until this week. My ASSumption that moving to a 750F/275R would be about the same, but I think I'll be gravitating towards 250R and running 275R on the tracks where the car feels tight (NOLA for sure, Hallett maybe but softer is better there)...

I have a full range of wheel spacers to play with as well...

[Pranav]

Blah, so that's what I get for buying stuff with not enough sleep, I think 250 should've been my target with 225 as my alternate...

Not too late to ship the 275s back and order 225s...

[Pranav]

Got 5.5 x 11" 225lb pigtails and 2.5 x 8" 675lb coilover springs I won't be need anymore in a couple of weeks.

I also have a pair of 2.5 x 8" 650lb springs available now.
