Hey all,
I have been doing a little reading and it seems that people are throwing around the 175# or so rate for rear springs.
I have coilovers out back, and I think my springs are a little weak, was wondering what "most' people put on. Car will be set up for some handling, probably with my Hotckis springs back in front, Hotckis hollow bar up front, "street" Autoweld ladder bars w/poly bushings, coilovers.
Anyone have a clue what spring rate to start with? One problem is I don't know what are on it now, cause the coilovers were unidentified when I got them.
Last time I drove the car with the HOtckis stuff on the front it pushed really bad, and the rear seems to bottom out easily even with the springs preloaded like crazy via the adjusters on the coilovers. I'm thinking stiffer rear springs to start with.
Thanks for any ideas / thoughts out there.
