I just got back from HD to purchase a homemade handy dandy spring
compressor for my TRF comp springs. They will be coupled with some new
Carrera shocks up front so give me a few days and I hopefully can give
some feedback.

Kevin,
I just replaced my springs with the uprated springs from TRF. If
anything,
the car sits slightly lower, but the squat is gone. The ride is firm,
but
not harsh. I think the shocks probably contribute to harshness more than
the
springs. My next step is the tube shock conversion from TRF. I'll let
you
know how that goes.

Subject: Uprated springs
Greetings folks,
springtime is here, so it's snowing on Cape Cod!! In any case, I'm
still planning on driving the 6 this weekend. I'm looking for
replacement springs for the rear of my '76. Moss sells the standard
replacement, and the competition ones. I'm looking to get rid of the
rear end squat, and increasing the handling. My questions are: will the
comp springs give a harsh ride, and are there springs that are in
between the standard and competition versions (uprated). Also, I want to
avoid raising the car height. Anyone who's BTDT would certainly be of
help.
Thanks,
Kevin
Cape Cod, Ma.
