spring relocation

[3404spdfish]

just a simple question about spring relocation kits. has anybody had any problems cornering, like normal cornering in the neighborhood or curves on the highway? it just seems a little weaker than factor hangers.

I've wondered about this myself.

My car only runs on the street, on 295/50-15 BFGs or Cooper Cobras.
no problems in 20 years

Moving the springs in changes the effective spring rate (wheel rate). The longer distance between the spring pad and the wheel means with the same input at the wheel, more force is applied at the spring.

So if you do a 3” relocation and want to keep the wheel rate the same, you need higher spring rate leaf springs.

That said, it’s a fairly minor effect.

Ok so the 3" kit. I see nothing that would be any weaker about it at all. Unless of course it's installed improperly.
