Default done a lot of research and dunno...spring rates!

ive read as many post on here as i could find so i did not have to start a new post but im still stuck! my 93 gt is a daily driver with many bolt ons. the chassis has sub conn. and tower brace, upper and lower cont. arms. i go to the track once...twice a month.

the FRPP C springs or the B springs. i dont know if the B 425/530.. front and the 200/ 300...rear will be to soft and i dont know if the C springs at 650..front will hurt launches....

does anyone have any experience with any of these spirngs??

The B springs are close to stock, minus the lowering.

stiff front springs DO hurt launches, usually, you want a TALL low rate spring, that way it stores alot of energy, when the weight transfers to the back of the car, the stored energy will pop the front of the car up, transferring MORE weight to the rear
