What struts are you using??? If stock, not gonna happen. If youre gonna upgrade your shocks and struts, I'd get the front struts off of a cobra(Bilsteins) and get 350lb springs in the front. Bilstein makes some great all around dampers for street and some competition. Im gonna be using cobra dampers on my car with my IRS and getting MM coilovers with 350lb front springs and i think 500lb rear springs.

I'd contact MM, they can go over your goals and what you want out of the car. Then they'll recommend you a set of springs depending on your preferences.
