      i dont need to turn. Not at a high rate of speed. If i am sideways there is a problem.

        If its a drag car, I'd do a 150. If its a street car, I'd probably do a 200.

          the next question is 12 or 14 inch spring?

            12" is what I have always ran in my drag cars.

              14" 175 would probably be perfect for you considering you intend to street drive some.

              175 lbs were the first set I put on my old 90GT with a 347 stroker setup, then went down to 130s. The 130s were pretty compressed, so I wouldn't recommend much street driving on them. I have 130s on my current setup that is drag only.
