Scott,
You should try to do it right. Start by measuring the eye to eye distance of your coil-overs with out springs installed at desired ride height. For example, my car is set at 13-7/8". Then you need to borrow or rent a set of corner scales (You might be able to get them directly from Intercomp). You really should know the weight at each front corner at ride height. Get that data and then you can best select the proper rate spring. There are other factors, but that's a good starting point.

I have a modified ARDF clip with QA-1 coil-overs so I cannot provide a fair comparison (different spring location, angle, probably different length and definitely different corner weights)
