How do I determine which coil over spring rate to use under my '63 post car. I'm currently installing ladder bars and coil overs and don't know if I need the 100#-125#-150# inch rate springs. Thanks.

Drag only, street only or what? Also what brand, type and length shocks fully extended?

Call CE tech and ask them what they think My Duster weighs 3400 lbs with me in it at race trim, I drive it on the street and it has a set of Strange Engr. single adjustable coil overs 16.5 extended with 170 lb. springs, it does ride fairly nice considering the solid mount ladder bars I bought another set of used double adjustable Stranges the same length and that set has 150 lbs springs, they came off of a 1968 Hemi Barracuda race only, he went to a set of Santuffs. I have not tried them (springs or coil overs) yet so
