Justin, I don't know what it would be - or + all I know is the front of the rear is pointing up. I lowered the uca as short as they would go and it stay's at 0* it won't go down. So It has to go up and thats what he told me to do :)
Those 130 springs may be to heavy. I read about it and I hear you want it light up front and heavy in the back. But heck the coil over kit is worth 170 + you could sell the springs on ebay if you couldn't use them.

Actually the 130# springs(14" long) are extremely soft for drag use. They are the QA1 drag spring rate. Most people go heavier for the street for better handling on bumps. Heck, most even go with the 12" long springs & 200# springs for street/track........I think the 14" long 130# with 90/10's will be awsome for weight transfer....what rate/lenghth springs came with your kit mark?

i plan on doin the full coilover/k member deal next year. I'm planning on 195# springs. I've rode in a car with them you really get alot of lift. i'd like to see how your car does on the 130# springs.
89 Coupe with parts stacked inside of it and about 30#'s of dust on it with no end in sight. :weird:
Although I am collecting parts for a 12.5:1 393 :D
My kit came with 175lb springs. I am reading for the rear to get 225, but I want to see how the fronts are before I go ordering
I also read on the corral quite a bit that 130 lb springs are for lighter cars in the front. You know with a after market k-member... mine is all stock so it's heavy. I hear that heavy cars in the front work good with 175's

Yeah, 175# seems to be the average rate offered for drag. I figure if the 130's are too soft ill pick up a set of 175's somewhere. I've seen them around for about $60 or so.........

yeah there not really hard to swap out, so try them if not really that great sell them and buy new ones. Make sure you buy a spanner wrench :) "needed for adjustment"
I am home right now waiting for fed-ex to deliver mine to my door so I can adjust mine.............

You could use a few tools to adjust them but yours is on its way anyhow......those stupid "zip" wrenches with the adjustable rubber band on it work well or any wrench of that type(oil filter wrench)........can't wait to hear how it turns out mark!
