Ordering coilvers today
I am going to order coilovers today. But I can't decide what spring rate to order.
I am thinking 200 pounds per inch. I am going to get QA1 aluma matics. They are going on a 52 GMC with a triangulated 4 linked 10 bolt out of a 76 Monty Carlo. I will be putting a 20 gallon gas tank behind the rear end. I know ride stiffness is a personal preference. I want to be a bit on the stiff side for cornering stability. |

Re: Ordering coilvers today
If you call QA-1 they should be able to recommend a spring rate for your needs.
My rear coil overs have 250# springs but it's not on the road so I can't comment on them. Kim |

Re: Ordering coilvers today
I'm in a similar situation as Kim of having 250lb springs and not knowing how they feel yet. Don't forget about correction factors due to the angle of how you mount them.

Re: Ordering coilvers today
Mark, did you order the coilovers yet? What did you end up ordering?
