Just can't decide if I want progressive front springs or jsut stick with buying the C springs. Ride quality isn't a big deal...my question is if I am more into drag races and twisty roads wich spring should I go with? I am thinking C since they are a constant rate spring. Also I can't decide if I should cut the dead coil? Anyone got pics with it cut and without? I also plan to replace my isos with poly ones. Thanks for any help guys

what i meant to comment on last night (but didnt since i was tired) is that it will be tricky to find springs that are 'drag ready' and are also designed for twisties.

you would definitely need to get a spring that is a compromise between the two and get shocks/struts that are adjustable for what you are looking for...im not sure if theres any other way to achieve what you want.

someone will chime in and set us straight

hum..looks good . did you cut a coil in the rear? I am affraid if I don't cut it I will not get much of a lowering in the rear...but then again I am not sure I want to hack brand new springs. How bad off was your alingment? If it wasn't to bad I may can do it myself. My buddy has a setup for manual alignments.
