QUESTION: summitt did not have the 2.25 id,   do you have another suggestion,    thank you for your input.   HAL

Answer
I owe you an apology, I misread your first question. 2 1/2 ID springs are fairly common,  I don't know where you would find the 2 1/4 size - - - perhaps speed shops specializing in Midgets, or Sprints, Karts or something like that,  

Sorry I couldn't offer more help !!

Experience

I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
