A part of my project is replacing the front suspension on my car. I would like to do the shelby drop and I would also like to know what springs go with this setup. Any info would be welcomed. I do have the template on the way from a friend. Thanks in advance...
When you cut the springs, the rate doesn't change. Deflection = (rate)X(force)X(spring length).HistoricMustang said:Ditto on the 620's for street use. When going to autocross or open track the 750's are good. For the crazy track stuff like Daytona I stick in the 1000 pounders.
Here is a question that will get a good argument going!
When you cut the springs, does the spring rate go up or down?

A given force will deflect a unit length of the spring a certain amount. If you shorten the spring and apply the same force, each unit length of the spring still deflects the same amount as before. However, now the spring is shorter, so it deflects less than before.
So, your seat of the pants feel will be that the rate changed (the springs feel stiffer). However, the rate didn't change.
Did I pass the test?
