Drag Racing Rear Spring Rate?

04 January 2007 - 02:44 PM

I have Koni yellow adj all around, I have locked the front torsion bars in place to keep the front end from popping up. But as for the rear, the temporary getto rig I have is a spring inside a spring welded together but unfortunately as we all know that when you cut a spring it changes the spring rate so I have no idea what spring rate I am running.

I plan on running deep 9's. I already have the turbo setup to and engine built to support it. My question is what springs to use? My current springs are so stiff, that I loaded about 800 pounds of stuff in the back and the car only squatted 1/2". Is there such a thing as having springs too stiff in the rear for drag racing?
