Default just remember who was talking you into big rear rates...
i can tell by teh coil size they're over 1k, if I had to guess, 1600lbs.

Default Woah! it's still a street car, man!
less than 1600, but that's about what I'd run if the car was in competition and I had a super duper hero reinforced subframe.

Default And when I needed/need new spring rates, no one stepped up and said, although you can't get hyperco
look at Eibach or other

WTF?!!?!?

I would like stiffer springs.

Default This turned out good...you almost had a long wait in front of you- - ->
If the Eibach's didn't come up smelling rosey, I (we) would have had to wait for the HyperCo's to come....I'm trying again tonite...so I should get to the UPS Store by Saturday....

One more: More travel til coilbind so you can (might) use shorter springs thus even lighter.
