I bought Maximum motorsport coilover kits front and back for my car.. spring rate will depend on what u plan on doing with ur car.. mine is for aggressive street driving so I went with 350lb front and 550lb rear, which is pretty stiff but handles like a dream on corners..

I heard upr is really good, and they sell kits with 175 lb, 150 lb., and 250 lb., spring weights for like 240 bucks, and 300 for the rear.

I would never buy cheap suspension. UPR and Granatelli included. Maximum Motorsports or Griggs racing are the guys I would consider. I currently have Griggs on my car.

F.y.i Upr springs are made by eibach

Moi you know my car. I would think a 14 150 spring would be about right for your set up. The 14 130 was to soft for my car. So I went to the 14 175. With the extra weight from the Dart block, and soon to be charger/intercooler. It was needed.

Of course you know I run full Upr K-member kit, with bbk cc plates, and Steeda bump steer kit.
