Pricing a coil over kit from URPproducts, it asks what spring rate i want for the springs. now i know of course it is the strength of the srping i guess, but how are they rated? they have numbers like 12000-14350....i am setting this car up for drags on the 1/4 track. quite a bit of street driving to. I will be doing 90/10's and 50/50's for shocks and struts. I know driveability will be affected but SO WILL THE 60' times~!

14150 or 14175 14 is for the inch spring.. and the other 3 numbers are the spring rates.. You will need a 14" and either a 175 or 150... Let me know what you need.
