Front Drag Racing Coil Springs – The Best Performance
Landrum Performance Front Drag Racing Coil Springs are designed to deliver the performance, reliability, and consistency you need to win. Landrum front drag race springs are taller than OEM springs and use softer rates to give your car the correct ride height while providing more stored energy for instant weight transfer during launch. This helps to give you increased torque control, reduced wheel hop, and faster 60ft and 1/4-mile ET’s.
Landrum drag race springs are available for the front suspension of GM vehicles and are offered in configurations to fit OEM A-Arms and Aftermarket A-Arms with no modifications required. Springs with a 5” outer diameter and 18” length are available for 1964-1972 GM vehicles, and springs with a 5.5” outer diameter and 18” length are offered for 1973 and newer models.
All front springs are closed and ground on one end to provide proper contact with the frame. The opposite end is either open to properly fit into the lower control arm of OEM A-Arms or closed for Aftermarket A-Arms.
What Metal is Best for Front Drag Racing Coil Springs?
Landrum Performance Front Drag Racing Coil Springs are light weight, high travel and made with the highest-grade High Tinsel Chrome Silicon Steel for strength and repeatability.

How are Front Drag Racing Coil Springs Kept from Bowing?
Landrum drag race springs are cold wound, not hot wound. Each is properly heat treated and stress relieved to ensure the sides of the spring remain parallel during installation.
How are Front Drag Racing Coil Springs Manufactured?
- Springs are powder coated and not plated, which avoids hydrogen embrittlement, a condition that can be caused by electroplating and can weaken metal.
- All Landrum Front Drag Racing Coil Springs use standardized testing procedures to ensure the best quality and performance. All springs are tested to be within 2% of rate specification and a dyno sheet is included with each spring showing its test results.
- The drag racing springs are designed with the correct pitch and height ratio to insure a consistent rate throughout the entire cycle.

Spring Compressor for Long Length Coil Springs
This Spring Compressor makes it easy to install our 18” Front Drag Racing Coil Springs. Standard spring compressors just aren’t long enough to properly compress 18” springs, but our spring compressor is. The spring compressor is inserted through the top shock absorber opening and a long length threaded rod allows the compressor fingers to reach down to the bottom of the spring. A position adjustable bearing located toward the top of the rod seats on the top of the shock opening so the threaded rod turns freely when the spring compressor is tensioned or loosened.
Retail Price: $169.00
