I'm wondering if a full wrap of stock front end springs will give me a good ride for the back underneath 10 inch cylinders on a 90 fleetwood brougham. It's not coilover and i'll be running 12 batteries. I'm keepin the shocks in the back and need advice on what kind of spring to keep the back end from bouncin around too much. Suggestions?

it will give you a good ride............ but may be a bit high at first...
break them in before you cut them..

Just what i was lookin for (in the back). Now does anyone know if a full rack of stock S-10 springs or equivalent will do the same??

Why are you wanting to use a full stack? I have used factory S10 springs before and only used around 3-4 turns. I like to lay low though.

I'm needin a full stack cuz i want to be at about stock height in the back. Right now i have about 5 turns of hopping coil in the back, and it almost sits on top of the tires. Laying low isn't my thing for this particular car. I'm pretty much focusing on performance on the front and just a trouble free back.

if you are looking to hop the front, you will need some strong rear springs and good shocks..... the number one performance killer to the front is a squishy rear end... and that is what you will get out of factory coils....
