Marginally to light or to heavy I was under the impression that they needed to be as light as possible just enough to hold the car up, the 250# i have are to soft they are almost bound up.

I believe mine are a touch light but the next step is 450's and I think they would be to heavy for my car. Although my car works well the way it is so I have no reason to change things
