It all depends on what your going to do with the car. If its a daily driven car, go with a nice set of moderately dampened shocks and struts such as Tokico HP's or Koni STR.T's paired with a set of 250-300 lb springs. If its a weekend car and ride quality isn't as big of an issue, run with some Bilstein HD's or comparable Koni's with 325-375 lb springs. If your auto-x'ing the car or open tracking it it, get a spring rate higher than 375 and some race-valved MM Bilsteins or some SA or DA Koni's. If your drag racing, stick with a lighter spring rate such as 150-175 with an adjustable drag strut. As for the rear, the spring rates will just be a little lower than the fronts.

You can see my sig below for what I run. This is perfect for a daily driven car and I occasionally auto-x it as well. The front springs are a bit soft for auto-x, I would prefer around 325lb's, but the ride is so nice that since I DD it mostly, I'm gonna leave them be.

Good luck, hope this helped!
