Default New Front Landrum Springs Too High

Hey Everybody,

Installed 5 x 18 new #325 Landrum springs and they sit 3 to "4 too high?

Nose heavy small tire car.

To cut or return for #300?

Thanks, Craig

I would see if I could return them!
Gezz, I mean over 3” too high means if you keep them you would have to cut off and toss a lot of what you paid for, and then what’s left that you use would be a lot stiffer!

300# springs seem very stiff for a drag car, I run 130# up front.
