Default 1200lb 2.5ID coil springs.

Does anyone know if H&R or Eibach makes a 2.5ID 1200lb spring in any length between 4 and 8 inches?

Second question: would anyone want a spring at this rate in 2.5ID?

H&R offers 1200lb in 6" and 8".

Here's a link to their size chart.

[edit] Eibach makes a 1200 in 6" and 8" as well. I wonder why Hypercoil stopped at 1000?

Jeebus! thats a stiff spring

So Corey your going to run 800s in the front and 1200 in the rear and you took the front sway bar out also right? I would kill myself in a car like that for sure, lol.

also you guys that keep going stiffer and stiffer every year have you ever hit a point were you said ok, that's just too stiff I need to go back down some yet? I guess the car is not skipping/hopping from little bumbs in conners yet.

last year 1400lb rear springs. Super fast but really cost me when I got out of shape (which was often).

Last year Moton Remote reservoir 3way Adj. very nice, very expensive. This year Morriss Dampers Biltseins - Nice but not quite as good, but legal for SCCA ITS, H3 etc. about half the price of the Motons.
