I have eibach pros in the rear. Going to get MM Coil Over kit. I have MM 4 bolt cc plates, and tokico illumina 5 way shocks/struts.

I was thinking 325# in the front. Car is a street car, I might enter autoX once and a while same with taking it to the drag strip.

What do you guys think? 325...350?

325 will be like twice as firm as mine now right, so wouldnt that handle a lot better then what I have now? Remember I have eibach pro springs in the rear.

THANKS!!!

175's will be a bit soft for any Auto-X stuff.

Back when I was doing coilovers, I talked with MM and settled on 350#. That seems about right for a daily driver.

Well I called MM they said 325# 10" spring for a street car, he said it would be nice for autox as well.

guess ill go with that unless you really do think its too soft...

My car is a street car, wouldnt mind hitting up autox once and a while same with the track but im not a all out drag guy at all just wanna try it mabye a few times for the fun of it.

What do you guys think? Its a street car, I dont mind if its a bit rough dont want an insanely rough ride but I do want it to handle really well.

Think it should step it up to 350#?
