Can anyone please help me select new front coil springs? I need to get better weight transfer. It is a 67 Camaro and has serious traction problems. I need a perfectly prepped track or I just blow the tires off. Even with a good track, I still spin 20-30 feet. Best ET to date has been a 10.55 @ 128. Also, how should I have the shocks adjusted? I have found that the best so far has been all the way loose up front, all the way tight in the rear. Here's what I have now:

Front:
Hotchkis 2" lowering springs
QA1-R adjustable shocks
new urethane bushings in upper & lower control arms
disconnected sway bar, soon to be removed
8" steel ralleys, hope to replace with skinnies

Rear:
Hotchkis 2" lowering multi-leaf springs
QA1-R adjustable shocks
soon to be installed Cal-Tracs
275/60/15 MT ET SR
8" steel ralleys, hope to replace with lighter Weld rims

The car:
big block, aluminum heads
battery relocated to trunk
heater box removed
glass hood that weighs almost as much as a steel one
TH-400, 3200 stall, 3:55
car weighs 3650# w/driver

I would appreciate any help. It was very frustrating last year to have so much power available, but not be able to put it to the ground.

Don't get me wrong, the "have so much power available" part was still a ton of fun!!

car weight for front will help you get the rigght springs,i have my shocks adjust to middle setting.If it comes up to fast you unload 10-20 ft out.

But i'd wait to 40 coupe's comments.I could be wrong

I wish I knew, but I have no way to weigh the front. I listed what was done to the car in the hopes that someone has a close set up and knows their front end weight.
