they are just springs, not made for any particular application, but its what you would have to look into anyway.

how stiff are you talking about? just tossing in a really stiff springs can cause a lot of issues and be dangerous.

Re: spring rates

i just didn't want the rear end to feel spongy like some people describe happens with certain springs they run.

Re: spring rates

I run 175lb on the rear and I would not call it spongy. However you also need to match them to your front springs. The spongy feel could also be due to not enough damping on the shocks.
