One for the book....

How do I choose the right spring rate for my car when swapping to a rear coilover suspension ?

my 67 Barracuda weights 3100 lbs !

What would be my choice ?
Thanks

Dan

What do you plan to do with it?? that matters lighter for straight drag than straight street??

drag race or street use? i have mine set up for drag race right now and i'm at 110lbs springs in the rear. I weight in at 3000 with me in it. also if you have adjustable shocks or not.

Mostly drag but occasional street use...
I'm spotting QA1 single adjustable schocks..

I run 110s and it handled that well even with the car loaded down with all the crap I brought along for drag week
