    Higher rate rear springs? Where do I find them?

    Hello all. I am at a point where I need higher rate rear springs so my car doesn't squat so much when I launch. I am currently running the 2.5" ID, 4.5" length springs with the 650# rate that were part of the GE group buy. I am having a really hard time finding springs with a higher rate that will still allow me to use the collar and sleeve setup. I need to be able to adjust ride height due to wide rear tires and flares.

    Thanks ahead of time.

      yeah, you should be able to get them from GC directly. Either on their website or give them a call.

        I'll call them thank you. I looked at their website and i didn't see 2.5" ID springs that would work. As a matter of fact they have the least amount of information of all the suspension sites I looked at.

          GC will not have a 4" 2.50"ID spring in the conventional ERS line. Eibach doesn't make one.

          They will have, or can source, a 4" 2.50"ID available in the "elite" series of racing springs.

          Back to Eibach News List New Eibach Elite Series Springs for the dirt and pavement circle track market. This spring series utilizes the same highest tensile strength wire

              Id look for hyperco. I ran 4" before and can get them usually in pretty high rates. Can't remember what dealer I got them through.
