Anybody know where to get high rate springs for an SN95??
Get a hold of Don Lariviere (hmark on the national forum). I know he's just bought a pile of springs for his sn95.
check out this post on the national site:

No need to do any reasearch, Global West is the way to go!!!!
900/200 rule :lol:
I don't know nothing about Global West -- never needed to get anything from them.
But if ytou're looking for stock-style springs in a variety of rates, I'd check the circle track shops -- specifically Speedway Motors. They have both flat-ground and OEM Pigtail springs from various manufacturers plus their own in-house brand. That's where I got my 575# rear springs. Very good, and very cheap.
Holy Spring Rate Batman!!!!!!! Really - 575# - Really?Quote:

I'm running 350lb rear coil-overs, so the motion ration put them somewhere around 785lb-in conventionals.
It's all about wheel rates:
Springs in stock locations on a Mustang.
Frt, Spring Rate X .25 = Wheel Rate.
RR, Spring Rate X .49 = Wheel Rate.
Coil-overs on a Mustang:
Frt, Spring Rate X .9 = Wheel Rate.
RR, Spring Rate X 1.1 = Wheel Rate
Yep, 575# springs in the OEM location, custom torque arm.
575 works pretty well for TWS. Not so good at ECR! Al can attest to that. :roll:
Maximum's recommended rate for conventional springs, torque arm AND aero is in the 450's....Quote:

You may be right. It's certainly too much spring for ECR and probably Hallet too. 450's may work better at TWS too. I'll have to give it a shot. Rear springs are cheap...Quote:
