150lb worked best for me but I was at 2600lbs with a 50/50 distribution.
Lupe with your car being very light with IRS you'll have to try a couple of different combinations before you get it right.

Remember, I'm without IRS I'm running the 8.8 Solid, remember
Here is the vid of my scale when mine was weighed last winter, is mine 50/50 too? This is without me in it.

Looking at this, the 150 LB spring might be a better choice like Crispeed said. They have a nice little charts toward the bottom.

thanks for the 411. I have ground controls on my first gen that came off and auto X car but luckily he gave me a box full of springs with all the spring rates collered around one of the coils I have my car gutted except for 6 pt cage 4 gal. fuel cell. and drivers seat. Im assuming the cars weight is between 2-2500 lbs. but lets say me just wanting to take my car to get it weighed I could go to a truck weigh in or is the point of getting the car weighed to have your numbers for your 4 corners. the car is a street car for me w/ a 12 a ported motor and a shot of spray. anyways I looked, and I have 100 and 175 lb. springs which Im thinking of installing since i have the coilovers but have not installed them YET. Thanks for the insight and link to the other thread Luke, hope to hear others opinion.
