Want to lower front end after LOTS of weight loss
So far Iive pulled about 250lbs out of the nose of my car. Only things left in the nose is the motor w/ aluminum heads, and and water pump/ALT. The nose now sits a bit high even with the V6 springs in there. I saw those moroso 150lb springs, would those be too soft? I want the front of the car pretty low, and then to spring up on a hard launch. Car is mostly a track car now.
Any idea on cheap ways to do this? Planning on swapping over to a tubular K member/coil over set up later next year.

For a track only car, get the Moroso trick springs. Cut coils to get the ride height you want. I use the BBC springs uncut in mine.
