Arrow Alden Coil Overs

My Can Am big block weighs in at 2475#. Distribution is unknown. I had 450# springs all around and it rode like a lumber wagon with a threaded rod suspension. I recently installed 350# Alden adjustable aluminum coil overs all round. With some adjusment of the spring, I achieved my desired ride height and now enjoy a ride that actually has some suspension. The shocks are set midway in the recoil scale.

If your planning on moderate hiway and cruising use, you would likely find the 350# springs to be good. Anything over 350# may be a tad stiff, especially since you are not running a big block. But every car is different.

Good Luck.
