Get a hold of Don Lariviere (hmark on the national forum). I know he's just bought a pile of springs for his sn95.

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.

Camaro, Mustang, doesn't matter to me, I'll race it.
Rob,
Pretty sure Robert is running a Torque-Arm rear, so that's not too unheard of...
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....Originally Posted by Rob Liebbe
Just sayin'....
Ah, fugg it.
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...Originally Posted by AI#97
