Ok Guys
I did the search and did not find what i wanted. Any how i would like to find some coil springs that i can make a mount and be able to change the springs out for diferent rates. Kinda to fine tune it. So if any of you can help me out let me know k. I checked summit and the springs that they have are to soft would like to run in between 180-210 or so should be about 14 inches long so.
Thanks

:eek: Unless Spidertrax is doing something better then what i saw last year, they are just using flate plates, and small u-bolts to attach the springs. No rocket science there.
By the way, they also use the coils from Summit Racing. They just mark them up a lot. :flipoff2: They are available in several different rates, and seem to work pretty well. They are not huge flex mongers like some other springs, but they are cheap, small and well what else can I say?
See you in Moab..

check out all your dirt track supply companies like:
www.scogin.com
smiley's 1-972-289-RACE
Day motorsports
speedway motorsports
go to stock car racing magazine's website and check all thier vendors ads you can look at coil buckets till your vision gets blurry. and you will find something else out too. THis shit is cheap compared to what these 4x4 websites charge and alot of times it is the exact same part.
example: the other day I was going to fab some brackets to convert to rear disc brakes but I was looking through one of my dirt track catalogs and they were there for $9.95 each thats right 9.95 look and see what spidertrax gets for those.
braided stainless steel brake lines I bought the other day were 15.95 each and they were 30 inches long!!!!!!!!
now they will not fit a zuk with out changing the fittings over to sae #4 but that costs about 39 cents per line to do that.
and to go from #4 sae to the banjo fittings on the front the conversion fitting is about 10 bucks
I am sick of 4x4 parts suppliers ripping people off

I buy my coils from www.speedwaymotors.com they have spring rates on 2.5 inch coil overs from 85 lbs to 750 lbs and lengths of 8", 10", 12",and 14" they also have 5"coils in 10" and 13" lengths with weights from125 lbs to 575 lbs. They seem to have the best selection thay also have adjustable heigth spring buckets.
On my coiled sammi I've ran the 2.5" x14" 200lbs in the rear and the 160 up front they are to soft I think I will go to the 225 in the rear and 185 in front.
Good luck
