Default Toooo Stiff!

Guys,
We worked with "Blue Coil" and "PRO" shocks for about 5 months to come up with a good all around rear suspension set up.

Coil overs are nice, but of course add quite a chunk to the over all build. The rear springs we use, and now CR's ships with the kits are 13 - 200's Blue Coils. If you really want a little softer ride then drop to the 175's. I'll have to get the PRO number for the rear shocks when I get to the shop this morning.

If you do a lot of drag racing or roadcourse, then we found the 200's do work better without giving to stiff a ride/ but if you're 99% street, then the 175's will work well.

I think Don has some part numbers for rear coil overs if you want to go that way.

Hope this helps.
DV
