#130

I tried a set of #110 springs, but they were too soft. The car wouldn't hook to save it's life. I kept putting more and more preload in them to try and get it to hook, but all it would do is spin 3 or 4 revolutions, then go. I swapped my #130 back on, and the first pass with them it hooked and yanked the wheels 2 feet into the air (same day it wasn't hooking with the #110 springs.) I may have been able to get them to work, but I probably needed to move the front hole the ladderbars are in. Right now it is in the bottom hole, that is where I have always ran it. I might have been able to use the lighter springs if I would have moved it up one hole and "hit the tires" harder.

Oops, I hope you meant the rear, 'cuz that's what I was talking about. My front springs are the factory installed 1969 springs.
