Title: What springs for SBC and HR front end Post by: earlyholdenfan on September 24, 2009, 04:28:17 PM Hi all, just wondering what springs I should run with a SBC and a HR front end, will the standard height ones compress too far under the additional weight? is there a heavy duty set I should order? what is everyone else running, also same for shocks, anyone have recommendations?

I ran 1.5 inch lowered Heavy Duty springs by KMAC with HR drum brake stubs, sat pretty low with a 308... but I like them low. Could run 185/65x14 with no scrub.

anyone have any ideas on shock absorbers? Matt Title: Re: What springs for SBC and HR front end Post by: Ed on September 25, 2009, 11:32:06 AM Any HR shocks will work, they all dampen the rebound of the spring.
The quality of the shock and the amount you spend is your choice but any will work.
