Soo im finally gonna go with coilovers but wanted some opinions on spring rates. my 510 is now at about 1-1.5" clearance, but plan on bringing it back down to 3/4-1/2" (Go low or go home.) so it would need to be pretty stiff. the car its self ways around 2100-2300lbs if that. i was thinking maybe 600lbs front, 900 rear? opinions would be great!!

wait, wtf have you been rollin around on?Originally posted by M.BurroughsI'd have to say this site was founded on building the cars we wanted to build, despite if the rest of the car community liked it or not.

Wrong forum bro ......
Haha .... .. it depends who you ask ...... .. Jeff had 350 for fronts .... .. .. . Troy didn't want to sell me 225's for a street car,, but I got them anyway ......
I have heard autocross guys running 350 springs in the front,,,, , never heard of 400's .... .. Troy said 180-200 for a "normal" street car,,,, I said fawk normal my ish is slammed ....
I have #225 front and rear coilovers ..... .. . and they are still kinda too soft ,,,, , , the tires were rubbing bad when cornering hard in the wagon (like 2 inches of sway/bump) ...... :that wouldn't really work for your car
Talk to Jeff (icehouse) ..... see what he thought about his 350 front springs ...... Duke should know about rear springs

and cheap shocks don't like to be "over-sprung" ... .. .. they won't last very long......... Troy advised against Tocico's for #225 springs and talked me into $375 Koni yellow adjustable inserts
Honestly I could probably have built a custom A-arm set up for cheaper ....... .. then Dry sump my L18 like a BAWSE ......
