I have the granatelli street coil over kit with lakewood 70/30's. What lb spring should I use for a more drag/street car? I was thinking 14" 175lb springs? Also what brand cause I don't think granatelli sells just springs?

I run 14"- 130s up front but if you're going to see alot of street use maybe go 150s. 175s are real stiff. EDIT: It does depend on the weight of the car. If you have A/C, etc., stock control arms, that sort of thing you might need the extra stiff springs. QA-1 springs are about 36.00 each.

I have the GMS Drag coil over kit. 12" 175lb/in springs that come with the kit. Too short, too firm IMO. I plan on something in 14" and 110-130 would be much better. I have 90/10's.
