Sounds like your car is going to pretty light. Very similar to mine, i dont have Fiberglass fenders but most everything you listed is pretty close. I went through 3 different springs packages on mine before i found what worked best. Its a racecar, your going to have to do some tuning on it. My suspension guy Kevin Slaby from Baseline Suspension is who recommended me run the 110# and they seem to work very good, they are very soft which allow the car to transfer weight pretty good.

110# is lbs correct.Just to clarify.What front setup do you have?AJE don't do 110's or im a moron and can't seem to find em.Ya the front end is going to be a whole project in itself to get on there.

Yes 110# is LBS. I have a Tubular D&D Motorsports K-Member with Tubular A-Arms, Strange 10 Way Adjustable Struts, Strange Coilover Kit, QA1 110# Springs, '96 GT Spindles, Rotors, and Calipers.

ive got 175# springs in myne, and reading this thread im realizing that they are too stiff for my setup, im probly going to end up switching to 130's or 150's. the ones i bought are reccomended by UPR for "street strip or big block car" The car still transfers the weight ok, but not as much weight transfer as id like

Whats the weight of your car?it don't seem to look like it,but is your car gutted?any fiberglass stuff on her?
I'm thinking my car will be very light..I believe Ima look into some between 110#-130# we will see what happens...
Any other opinions please keep them coming
