not really clear what you're trying to figure out. they are both for torque arm setups...do you have a torque arm? the 390-430 are progressive springs and are stiffer than the 350-390 which are also progressive.

He is wanting to know how they ride? What springs they would match do best? What pros/cons may a stiffer spring have, etc?

You could call MM's tech line, they are very good at answering questions

Click to expand...

the stock springs are actually pretty decent for launching. you might want to look into some drag shocks, ie lakewood

BTW, progressive springs have a variable spring rate. as the spring compresses it gets progressively stiffer. in contrast, specific rate springs have the same spring rate throughout the compression

yes i just bought some lakewoods and got the mm control arms with upper and lower battle boxes.i read a little on B and C springs i didn't understand to much about that.i need to find the springs for just rear.I looked into eibach but I only seemed to find full sets of 4.Front suspension is already done wit moroso launch springs and lakewoods as well.So you can't use those H&R's without the torque arms?will it bind up my rear end?break?
damn...gettin nice out need car
