I've been looking for a set of springs or even coilovers for the lude. Right now the car is lowered 2.5" front and rear on what I believe to be Arospeed springs(bright yellow, they were on the car when I got it) Anyway, it's too damn low. My front bumper has about 2.5" clearance from the ground, needless to say it's a pain in the *** to drive it without scraping here and there. Front end was hit about 3 weeks ago and I just got the car back from the body shop. I wanted to get something other than a stock bumper, and I liked the look of this one, just didn't count on how much lower it would be.

I need options/opinions on raising the car back to or near stock height. I'd like to keep the firm ride though, so I was looking for a set of springs with stock height but increased spring rate, but I couldn't find any. Tein has the H-Tech that drop .8 / .7, but the spring rate is soft. Does anyone make stiffer springs with a stock ride height?

The other idea was Coilovers. I figure I could keep the ride height at or near stock and still have the higher spring rate. AGXs are on the car now, so I'll be keeping them on with either some new springs or coilovers.

I know how a lot of people on here don't like anything aftermarket body wise, so please just keep your shity comments to yourself, I'm not seeking your aesthetics opinion.

 

Ground controls w/ custom rates, and you're done.

i'd look at something like 300-350 #/in for spring rates.

 

350lb front / 300lb Rear or would you recommend equal rates front and back? Looking around at springs, it seems every company has a different opinion of how the rates should be, most are heavier in front, but some are heavier in rear.

personally i would go 300F/350R, since the car would handle more neutral, however it'll be easier to spin out with the springs like this. it'll also be more comfortable with the stiffer springs in the front, so if it's just a DD car, and not built for handling then 350/300 would be ok too.

i think the OE GC rates are 380/250? something like that. those are ok for a daily driver too.
