  • front coil over spring rate

    Gonna be ordering a coil over suspension package tomorrow for my 92gt, i was wondering what would be the best spring rate to go with, the seller said 12inch 250lbs springs, car will be a street car woth 18×9 inch wheels, fenders have been rolled already, i currently have h&r springs and i didnt like how high it sat

    One good thing about coilover springs they are cheap if you choose the wrong rate. But 250 sounds about right for a dd.

      Well, really it depends on the struts, you should match the spring rate to the strut... What struts are you running?
