help finding springs
I'm looking to find some springs for my FC TII. I'd like to run around 375 up front and 250 in the rear, only problem is i seem to only be able to find 140 rate springs. I don't feel the need for coilovers at this time and the car will most likely not be seeing street useage more than a few weekends a year.
thanks for your help all

You're really not going to get to pick your rates without going to coilovers. Otherwise you're just left with whatever aftermarket manufacturers have decided is an "improvement" over the stock springs.

Coilover kit from Ground Control. Cheap way to do "real" coilovers. www.ground-control.com
Eibach 2.5" or 2.25" ID springs are used ... and just about any spring rate you want.
