I am looking to switch my 1989 Mustang Drag car to front Coil over but I can't find one that is recommended for drag racing!
My car is a hatch back with a 351 Cleveland engine so the front is heavy. Any input as to what spring rate would be appreciated, the car is
drag race only not street driven!

Any can be used. You just use a light spring such as a 14" 150 pound spring .

Upr, team z, MM, many others out there. Call their tech lines and ask for recommendations on spring rate. I have upr 14" 175 springs for a street strip car. I'd imagine our front end weights are not that different when you consider my engine is fully dressed with ac and power steering, things you are probably missing. A 150 would probably work well, but the manufacturer could tell you best.

maximum motorsport coilover with upr 12-150 springs in my street car. Try team z for spring rate recommendations for your set up too.
