Coil-over Spring Poundage - Small Pick-up Truck
Hi All,
I have another question for all you knowledgeable folk out there!
I'm building an ST170 powered Morris Minor pick-up truck and need to order a pair of coil-overs for the rear.
Does anyone know what sort of poundage spring I should go for?
Being a Pick-up there isn't much weight up back, fuel tank, chassis and Subaru IRS.
I reckon it could be similar weight to a Locost or similar?
Any help and advice much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Martin

I would go for 275 or 300lbs springs they are to hard on the rear of an MK I have tried them these should allow for a bit of additional weight
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone
