[6pack] Goodparts Competition Grade Springs

[Sally or Dick Taylor]

David---The general rule for this is that raising the spring rate on the front end of the car will cause it to understeer when driving fast, thru corners. (The same thing applies to having only a front anti-roll bar, but with some flatter cornering benefits) If you only drive your car in a straight line, or take it easy in corners, there probably wouldn't be a penalty for going with stiffer front springs only. But then why do it? My vote is to replace all four corners with the stiffer springs, or leave them as is.

Hey List;

Anybody out there installed the Goodparts competition grade springs on 
their Six? Richard's
catalog says it lowers the car an inch while raising the spring rates 
(28% in front, 34% in the rear).

Is it recommended to always do all four? What if I just did the front 
pair, would that be an issue?
Anyone got before and after photos? Mine's a '74 and I currently have 
stock height springs....
Any photos (especially before and after, and great if it's also a '74) 
would be super! Also,
before and after driving impressions: Was it worth the expense/effort?

Thanks, all!

Cheers,

Dave
