Spring rates
Spring rates
Does anyone have a fairly complete list of spring rates for 3rd Gen front coils? My car sat too high for me w/ stock front coils, and now it is too low for the LT's w/ Eiabach Pro's. I'm looking to raise it back up 3/4" - 1.125" - Thanks in advance.

you can get a setup of coil overs for about 400 for the whole car...
and this way you cna raise and lower the car as you see fit

23 views and only one response? I'm not looking to do a coil over conversion, my car is simply too low right now and I am afraid of bashing up my Hooker LT's on bad roads. Someone out there has had to have expirmented with different springs before. I'd really like to have some guidance before I go buy 10 different sets of springs.

86-up, stock level I springs are 350lbs in the front, level III WS6 springs are 548lbs in the front.
Thanks for the reply, I think I'll try that first... it would be a bitch to toss the front Eiabach's after I paid $209 for a full set - then only end up using two of them. I'm almost wondering if the front end shop that installed my front coils tossed those spring isolators when they did the install. The ride height w/ the Eiabachs vs. my worn stock springs was over 2" lower. The rear Eiabach's didn't seem to lower the rear any. My buddy has Jamex springs on his 91' RS and the nose of his car is very low too, I wonder if that's his problem too.
