I would suggest 250/275 front for the street and 300+ for race. For 300# I would suggest 6" springs.

Thumbs up

I just want to say "Thanks Billy." I got the package and they are very nice and shiny. I will PM you later on this week on what we can do on a "FB strut to RX-2 steering knuckle. "

No problem. I think I have a couple ideas.

I've got some 300 and 350# springs, but they are only 5.5" in length. I'm assuming those are too short right?

5.5"? Never seen them. If you have them, try them out. There is a few inches of adjustment in the threaded perch.

BTW, did I leave you hanging on your PM about the GB?

so, say i went with the 7" 250# springs.

which would work "best" in your opinion, illuminas or HP's? I would prefer to use HP's, just because they are cheaper, and i don't really need to do a lot of adjusting

I would not use HP's for rates that high. The stock springs are ~100#, all after market spring sets are less than 200# on the front.

The 15th comes up on Monday. Check out the Group Buy interest section if you want to get in on the GB.
