    Default Largest Springs That Will Fit The Rear Of An ST141

    As the title suggests i'm looking at getting something mega beefy i dont mind chopping them down to the right height i know its frowned opon but its just a track car and i'm sick of whiplash.

    Ive got the shocks sorted i just need springs i was thinking maybe the front springs from an SS commo or XR8 falcon ???

    Time is running out and im getting desperate

    Cheers in advance for the tips,
    Mookie

    i used commodore springs cut in the rear but they were way too stiff!!
    i then went back to corona king springs chopped down a little to suit sierra shocks and it worked a treat.

    The fronts from an AU Falcon will work. You'll want to try and find springs from a V8 model.

    What shocks do you have? I've gott Sierra's with 6kg springs and the car has excellent grip (the Federal's help a lot) I've got some Lovell springs here, but they'd be to soft for what you want.

    FYI AU springs are softer than 6kg AJPS springs. I'll ask my brother if he has any ghetto springs from his Sprinter days.

    MX 62 Cressida rear springs fit but need to be cut down.As to Commodore rear springs they do fit and need to be cut but are very stiff and will near launch the rear off the ground if you hit a bump.

    VB - VL rear springs.The springs I had were Pedder Red and they were stiff.Good on a smooth road but no good on rough.
    Hope this helps ya out.
