i would take it to a scale and see what it is then go order springs.

my car is mini tubbed, 10 point cage, 9 inch, i have 110 on mine

 

[rednotch88]

how do i get to scale?I have no front end up yet?scale would have to come to me...rite?

if your going to drive it on the street i'd suggest 165, i have 175# springs on my car and it is a good balance of decent weight transfer and stiff enough that my front end is stable driving on the highway

 

[faststang90]

it has to roll

 

[rednotch88]

165 will roll better? 175 is stiffer?I can get a set of 175's for 25.00 new .Should I get those or weight till some 165's turn up??
