Re: Mustang ll coil over spring rate
I'd think this is where you start studying various coil over manufactures spring weight vs vehicle weight (load per wheel) charts and work on a viable solution.
It isn't all springs or weight of the vehicle though. My 2000 Cad DTS daily driver with it's 17 inch rims and 245 tires is one of the roughest riding vehicles I have ever owned and according to my wife our 77 Chevy flatbed dualie rides smoother most of the time. Those low profile tires relay every road surface change and let you know where every expansion strip on the concrete surface freeway is while the dualie just rolls over the road and the 10 ply tires don't relay the differences as much. So much for riding like a truck.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
