Is this dumb or brilliant? You decide.

The 002/003 SS springs typically used on A-bodies are for a 3200 lb car. And while the Challenger really doesn't weigh a lot more than that, you don't know if you have SS springs for a 3,400 lb car, a 3,600 lb car, or a 3,800 lb car. They make them in all of those specifications. And of course, what that doesn't tell you is the actual spring rate and how much that changes.

Rick brings up a good point too, they could just be worn out an in need of a re-arch. The fact that they arch that much with weight off of them hints at that, especially if they're one of the heavier springs.

Are there any numbers visible on the springs? How many leafs are there on each side?
