I am looking to purchase a coilover kit and was wondering what would be good rates for a car that will be somewhat street driven? I don't want anything too soft cause it is going to see it's fair share of track time but also don't want the ***-end to pass me when I hit a bump or take a corner.

I have the skunk2 drag 900lbs springs in the rear..THey ride really firm when I lower my coilover and bounces a lot when I jack up my coil over.

 

Sounds good...I was thinking about those but wasn't sure if they would be too stiff.

I have the Skunk2 900 lb. springs in my Civic, and I would not recommend them for the street. I still drive the car on the street from time to time, and large bumps, particularly on the freeway, are brutal!

 

So what would be an ideal spring rate for street/strip. 600-700lbs in the rear?

 

Scott put some 800lbs. in Duc's car and they seem to be working pretty well. The ride on the street isn't all that bad either, but his car is also as high as it will go.

 

Bump.
Im also looking for some springs and have the same question. I was thinking the 900lb skunks, but would like something in the 700lb area.

 

I have skunk2 900lbs also, i drive it every now and then its a rough ride!!!!!
