Well I pulled the trigger and ordered from MCB Ridetech control arms and coilovers. They had such great prices and Kim was so helpful I couldnt pass it up. Cant wait for them to come in.

MCB for the win!

I have no clue. MCB said that Ridetech decides that based off my specs. I'll be calling them on Monday to verify before they ship. From what I've researched it seems that 550-650 is a good rate. I know u said 700 so maybe they will recommend that. I just need to make sure it will be a good balance for when I order the rear 4 link. Should have that ordered by March.

Yea I kinda thought u did.

Still they didn't recommend anything when I ordered. I'll call on Monday to make sure tho. I know u stated 700lb on a leaf spring car but what rate for a 2nd with coilovers on all 4? I'll be changing over to the 4 link in a few months.

700 front, and when you go 4-link I would do 225 rear .......ride quality comes from the shock settings...I suggest the 700lb springs because it will require less preload on the spring, therefore less coil bind, more travel, better handling
