Clinging to my guns and religion in KCMO.
Looking for some sort of conversion chart that has both the spring three letter broadcast code (not RPO code), and the rate. I'm looking to possibly stiffen up the rear on my (C4 suspended) '69.
Anybody know where I can get this info?

Thanks,
Mike
 
If you want the stiffest, get the 84 Z51 springs and bars. I had an 84 Z51 and it was so much stiffer than the FE1 90, night & day difference.
 
Newtons per meter x .0685218

V.S. Has them. Looks like they are Z51 + 10% or FE1 + 10%.

They even have the front challenge spring.

If you want any stiffer than these you'll have to go to vbp and get a custom rate.

Will a stock length spring work in your setup?

I'm using a C4 rear spring on my setup, but I've had to shorten the spring each time (I've tried two different rear rates so far) to work with the stock C3 trackwidth.
