I know you want it low but a softer spring will just require more preload to hold up the same weight and the ride will suffer I would have recommended 650lbs front and 175lbs rear for a daily street driver with a good ride.....personal opinion from builds I have worked on, the 550 for a 350 SBC with iron heads is to soft

My car runs 750 fronts and 225 on the rear for the track and still rides low



the Muscle bar is a very good bar,I switched to the same one after testing it against 1-5/8 bar I had before
