    Hi All,

    Will I be able to fit 355 Challenge front race springs (2 piece) to a standard 355 shock? I'm unsure if different shocks were fitted between the models.

    Why not? See no problem. But why you want to do this?

    Standard springs seem a bit soft and I wanted to lower the car anyway.

    Too stiff for Los Angeles roads.

    I'm running even softer spring rates in my challenge and it still bounces all over the place, but I don't have to worry about it bottoming out like my two 308s did :)

    I have 2200 lb/in Front and 900 lb/in Rear Challenge springs, John. It's like someone tack-welded the front shocks. :D

    If you were to do this you would need to have the dampers revalved since the stock valving would be wholly inadequate for the stiffer spring rates.
