spring rate...yet again?
alright i want to buy some new springs but dont know what rate to get. i want a stiffer feel to my ride. it dipped and dived to much and with my low clearance issue with exhaust it doesnt help much. how stiff is too stiff? any reccomendations? thanks

well for springs alone you cant really have a "stiff" suspension. It can be more firm but springs alone wont really do it. Once you start putting poly bushings or rod ended parts then your rides gonna suck. haha...but really the only choice you really have is like eibachs, H&R, etc. Unless your gonna go with the ground control weight jack system. 800/175...I think I may upgrade the back to about 300 or more though cause 175 is way to soft.
