SPRINGS

About

The springs are the foundation of a suspension system. They are what allow the up and down movement of the wheels with minimal impact on the chassis and the rest of the car. The primary job of springs, though, is to hold up the weight of the vehicle and its cargo. The best way to order springs is to know the car’s weight. Ideally, you’ll be able to use a set of racing scales to measure the weight at each corner. Since that is unlikely, a cost-effective way to get sufficient weight info is to go to a landscape supply yard and use their scale. You’ll want the total weight and then measure just the front and then the rear. This info, along with the desired installed height, will be enough to have a high-quality spring manufacturer create some springs that are exactly what you’ll need.
