Coilover spring rate question

[bronconator]

I'm going to be switching to front coilovers. Does anyone have a spring rate that they have used? Any information/pictures on front coilovers, would also be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

Front of mine was 500lb X 14" on a 350lb X 16" and a 50lb X 3" tender spring.
The rear was 250lb X 14" on a 200lb X 14" and a 50lb X 3" tender also. both shocks are 17" bilsteins.
You'll get a bunch of opinions on what is the best combo and there are some that I would still like to try. I got my combo / set up from Bill Varnes (Mirage) in San Diego and for a right out of the box set up I only had to change the rears for a 1 lighter set to get everthing set just the way I liked it. It is super soft and flexy with the sway bars disconected and with them hooked back up I still have pretty decent road manners. There are pictures in my gallery.

We weighed all four corners of mine to come up with the combo that I am running.

Hope that helps
