The springs I got for my car at one point were 710 in/lb and the claimed application was 1998 Grand Marq. It was ebay so who the hell knows. They made the car sit an inch or so too high and it rode like shit though. I put stock springs back on the car.

I stole a set of coil springs from a railroad car up the road from my house. The wagon sat at the proper height afterward, and handled as if it were on rails, but the only way the car would have a nice ride was if you stacked 10 tons of lumber on the front end.Comment

If I got a set of '98 PI front springs and cut off the proper amount of coils to even out the ride height; will this increase the stiffness of the springs? I may need to get the '98s if my father makes too much of a fuss with the 925#ers.

yes, the rate will increase. if you look in the stickie thread called suspension formulas i put the formula for figuring out spring rate. if a spring has 10 coils, and you remove one coil your rate will go up over 10%Originally posted by packman View Posthttp://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx
