Default RWD 4link with Strange Double Adjustable Spring???

Have a project that will be RWD and 4 link and using the Strange Double Adjustable Coilovers. Car will weigh about 2300-2400 lbs when done and dont know which spring rate to go with in the rear. Can anyone shed some light on which springs to choose?

thanks

Thanks! I was close with thinking the 12/100 would be good. I will go with your advise though

at 2300-2400 presuming the car is 50/50 then a 110 may still be lite. if the car is on a big tire or small tire in will make a differance in how the car will take the hit. i had changed springs 5 times to find the right one for my car. it's 2552 with me in it and i have a 130 spring on Radials. with a nice shock set-up. you will have a lot of playing around with the shock to get it just right.

what kind of car and chassis setup is it?

Well nscra rules say that I will only be able to run back half if it is rwd to be in the hot rod class. So the full floor might be out of the picture. I amm hoping to be done by 2011 when nscra comes to Texas.

T56. I used manual instead of auto cause I plan on driving it on the street and won't be a track only car. Yes it only has a 6pt in it right now. I am about to do my cage as soon as I get my pipe bender. Already have the chromoly.
