What spring weight should i use?

the spring rate may differ between the styles of coil-overs... are you using a std coil-over or a "beehive" style coil-over?

on a 1st/2nd genner with beehives you'd probably want a 350lb spring. i'm unsure on the 3rd genners. i'd recommend a call to QA1/HAL and they'll zero you right in.

i was thinking of calling them but figured someone had to do what i am doing

That's one heavy spring!



Just a pet peeve. Spring rates are measure in force/deflection (distance).

ie; lb/in, lb/ft, lb/mile, N/mm, N/m, etc

Even though it's "assumed" that the rate is lb/in in the automotive marketplace, that's no reason to be lazy and leave off half of the unit.

Just sent summit tec the question to see what they have to say!
