Re: what spring rate are you running on your coil-overs

Re: what spring rate are you running on your coil-overs

im installing 250's, but i have a feeling they are going to be WAY to heavy. I will probably be ordering 150's or even 100's. Im not that far yet though.

they are supposed to be as light rated spring as possible, just enough to hold the rear end up.
