i really don't know that much about spring rates.. But Im running tokico adjustables and they are pretty nice for 600$$ range.

But I hope this page will help if you havent already seen it.

I'm guessing the Mugen Coilovers will probably fit your needs if your willing to spend up to $1500..

I would say koni yellows? But I think those are only recomended up to a 500 pounds spring.


Anyone?

try giving Eibach a call, they always helped me to full when I call them.
