Spring Rates??

[gsxeclipsed]

What is the stiffest spring rate that you would run on a street car? and what springs or coilovers will get me them? or many one with adjustable spring rate if thats posible. I want to be able to take my car to track on weekends also. Any help would be great thanx guys.

If you go with GroundControl check here for all available spring rates

I have 450's up front and 250's in the back. Thats what came with the kit. I will be moving up to 500 - 350 next year.

2.5" ID Hyperco springs can be had up to 1000# in 8" free length.

2.5" x 8" Eibachs can be found as high as 1200#.

While I was still in the race trim, springs went as high as 800/650 on my car. That was the same setup I used for a whole year as well. Not that I would recommend such a thing but, car was behaving just nice regardless of whether there was 6” of snow or a dry road underneath the car. But that was mainly due to the choice of shocks that where on the car. Valving of those and their capabilities are what actually puts a limit to how stiff you want to go. Well, your kidneys too!
