Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!

The best thing to do is ask the guy what they are rated for or call Comp and see if they can tell you.

No problem - Steve was just telling me yesterday that the 918 springs that I bought do not have the blue stripe on them that he's used to seeing. He said he installed the same set of springs without the blue stripe onto a guy's car and he came back with a broken spring not too long after. Steve spoke to someone at Comp Cams and he acknowledged that they're having problems with the newer style 918's without the stripe. ...Which, of course, is the style I bought. Steve checked it all out and all his tests show the springs are all OK but still, knowledge of possible issues is always better than blissful ignorance.

correction B, the guy had the new 918's in it @1.800 and it came in with a broken spring. I put blue stripes in it and haven't had any problems. yours spec'd out ok so hopefully where all good.

Well, as my luck would have it, the springs don't fit. Seems they are too small at the seat to fit the ID (these are .825 ID and I need to find some that are over .860 ID). Meissen, if you could, could you throw this on the "For Sale" thread? I'm looking for $55 shipped, there are 16 springs. At 1.800" Installed height, they are at 125# seat pressure and their max lift is .510". Anyone working on the valvetrain for an LS1 might like these.
Needless to say, they've never been used, nor installed.
