What spring rate coil overs to use?
Hey guys,
Can't finde any information what spring rate coilovers to use in front and rear. I think I will buy QA1 coil overs. If someone have used any and can give me any advise I would be wery appreciated. Plan is to use the car in summer as a daily driver, but it should be stiffer than stock and the handling should be much better . Soon will swap in lt1 and T56 from a 95 firebird . I also purcased bigger rear sway bar 22mm. planning to use 18" wheels and I want to have clearance like this car has and the same free space between wheel and fender.

Depends on whether you looking for "upgraded handling" or a cushy street ride.Like stated above those are generic rates which are adjusted according to application.

Bringing this thread back to life.
Still haven't ordered or decided what parts to order, but i have to do it in couple of days.
I have put in a Lt1 from 95 Firebird with T56 gearbox and planning to keep all air conditioning stuff. I will also install sound insulation matts from STP. Upgrade the sound system and adding 1 or 2 subs in the trunk.
So it won't be very light weight car and thats why im asking again for yours help guys to choose right coil overs set up.
I want to lower the car as stated above. The handling and rind should be good and i don't want it to be a bumpy, it will be daily driver in summer period.
So is the spring rate front 300 and rear 150 is ok, or should be something else. Should the spring/ coil overs should be 10" or 12". actually can't find this option on QA1.
Sorry for my english!
Wait for your replies before placing the order.
Thanks guys!
