Hi guys, just wondering if anybody knows the difference between front springs. I have 1800 springs fitted to my 1256 and it sits stupidly high. Does anybody know how much higher these sit from standard?
Thanks

A lot!! The 1800 engine is very much heavier than the 1256 and the spring length and rate reflect that. As a guide the Firenza HPF (aka Droop Snoot) used 1256 heavy duty export rate front springs as standard and it sat 1 inch lower than the standard OHC Firenza / Magnum models.
