They do make a couple of different choices for the front that is why I may run different brands depending on the condition of the track! Hope this helps!

The biggest thing is that my car was originally a pavement car, so I think the springs were cut down to lower the car. So how much difference generally in spring rate is there between the left and right front?

Posts: 269 Yuma, Az	Re: front spring suggestions Reply #4 - 11/30/10 at 1:41pm The class is limited to 3400lbs with driver. i noticed that the springs from AFCO come in different lengths, and Cocopah has been a rougher track. Is there a range there I should be looking for or is the length for specific car?
