okay so ive heard talk about the cs, es and shelby cars/springs but cant seem to find where. My question is, is there any difference between daytona cs springs over stock ones? and if so will these be a good swap into my lebaron gts?

Thanks,
George

If they are from a true Competition Package Daytona...then yes, the rates are higher. I really don't know what will happen if you put them on an H-body...I'd be inclined to think it may raise the car. Also, when using stock springs, make sure you mark which side you get them off of(especially the fronts), as they ARE different. They will also be different from auto and manual cars as well as cars with and without A/C.

fronts probably higher rate maybe for alteast the "regular" factory sets due to engine load, but the mopar performance book i have specs the front offroad/rally springs as being 180 in/lbs rate just like the rears.

reason i want the rally springs is 'cause they are super stiff and will raise the back end of my k wagon up a bit. the car doesn't seem to level enough for me and i want plenty of load support for carrying cargo / trailer towing, etc. also a good trick for drag racing as it pitches the load forward.
