Front Coil Springs  

We offer stock replacement springs and two types of performance coil springs. The terms used on the market today like 620 and 720 are not the spring rate. It is the diameter of the coil itself. Upon testing various competitor's spring rates, they are far less in actuality than what they're advertised. Depending on the way they're manufactured and number of coils, a 720 spring could actually be a lower spring rate than a 620.

Maier Racing has spent over 34 years optimizing their coils, both on the track and on the street. The result is that Maier Racing coils provide you with the security that you have a quality product designed with experience surpassed by few. Maier Racing provide unsurpased quality in coil design.

Maier Racing uses constant rate springs (linear progressive) due to the adverse tuning hurdles encountered with progressive coil springs. A number of performance enthusiasts believe that a progression in spring rate allows the vehicle to better negotiate road surface obstacles, such as potholes and bumps. In truth the only thing that a driver will notice is bit more initial body roll, which translates to a more sluggish turn in. This is not the case in our coil application. It is the design and quality of the dampener that determines ride quality, using a constant rate coil allows for the shock to be used more efficiently through the compression and rebound of the car movements. Maier's spring rates are set to actual tested rates and increase linear per inch.

Some cars original front springs have collapsed and 1” drop will not be noticed. These are measured from the stock ride heights of the original springs. These cars had different options that will change the ride height including air conditioning, etc. The addition of lightweight fiberglass components, aluminum heads, intakes, battery relocation and more, will change the outcome of ride height. The stock ride height in the front can be accomplished with performance springs, by using the 1" Insulator Option below. Additional lowering may be accomplished by doing the Shelby Drop, and/or cutting 1/8 of a coil at a time, re-assemble and drive to settle. The general rule of thumb for cutting our performance springs is when the spring is out of the car, every increment you cut, ex cutting a half inch, will result in a full inch drop when installed.
