KYB struts and ?? springs
hey guys, just looking for new suspension to put on my 86 base model. i plan on going with the kyb agx struts, and since the car isnt my daily driver, and will see track time, im looking for high spring rates (i.e: 400/275 or 450/300) what springs do you guys suggest? are the FC springs that eibach offers good? price isnt THAT important, and neither is ride quality....the stiffer the better! 
looking for strictly performance, but like everyone, i dont want to break the bank. ah yes...and the RB springs? good news on those or no?

If you are going racing don't buy the Eibach Pro-kit. They are progressive and you probably won't like them. Eibach has the "sportline" which are linear and give a lower ride height than the pro-kit.
I have the AGX's and pro-kit springs on my car, so I speak from experience. They are just fine for street and light spirited driving, but I can feel the initial 'softness' and the following increase in rate as the suspension loads up. It can be a little annoying.

Springs
I've got the KYB-AGX on my 88TII with RB springs, and love em. from what I've heard the RB and Eibach Sportline springs are pretty similar, I'm sure either will work very well.

how do you go about getting specific spring rates? do i need to order them like that from the manufacturer, or do i dampen them myself? im confused about this...
