For those with Linear Springs...
What heights are you running front and rear and does that include the use of a helper spring?

Spring lengths, ie 7", 6", 5.5" with helper, etc. Btw reason I ask is because I'm considering upping my spring rates. I currently have 450# 6" front, 550# 5.5" rear but it seems the rear is a custom length only offered by AST. So am I the odd one out using a 5.5" rear and if so, do I need to order through AST or can I just go with a 6" that is more readily available from other brands (Swift, GC, Hyperco, etc.)?

How do you like the weight jacks? I'm going to get the car rebalanced and am thinking of picking those up. But I've also read (and don't understand why) that those only should be used with high spring rates. Other things I've read is that the spring can get unseated with the weight jacks... 'tis true? I'm wait listed for the glen in Sept with CCA but ill be doing a 3 day PCA event in Oct at NJMP. Hopefully see you there bud. |

Pics with 5" springs? Car must be slammed... unfortunately NJ roads aren't as forgiving so I still need enough clearance just to make sure I can get to/from the track without bottoming out lol. I think I have about 2 finger gap.

I believe mine are both 5 inch swifts, I need to double check, when I adjust my ride height

I am thinking about getting the Rogue Articulating Spring Perches.
What length spring would be best? Currently, have Eibach lowering springs and the sitting spring height is 5.5", so I am thinking maybe a 4" spring would be correct to use with these?

Those running 4" springs are making a mistake specially if you track.
