Randy talked me into 250 rear and I think that will be a good choice. YOu might even consider less if it is a later model car whoose springs were a tad softer than the early. NOthing would be more disapointing that being unhappy with too stiff of springs. So far in my short amount of driving ( just settling ride height) the car feels great. I hope my resolution to FX3 problem is quick as I have never had this issue before the install. I have to say that the squirly side of me justs LOVES the stance of the front now. It looks serious. Now I need to spend the same amount of time on the rear and then off to the alignment shop. Its funny I don't know if I am more happy or releived that this is done. It does give one a good sense of accomplishment though. I very lucky to have some good friends who really helped me out.

Mike,

Your setup looks great with the photo that Bob posted and that is kind of what I am after in terms of looks, ride, and handling. My setup came in the last week, but I was out of country and finally looked at them today. I got the whole deal with trailing arm and camber brackets; everything looks great and well packed for shipment. The front rates are 425 and the rear 250 so Randy felt the same based on what I was looking for. Here are his thoughts: 300 too stiff, 275 right on, 250 a tick softer than the 275. I'm waiting on Carter brackets and in the meanwhile I need to figure out how I will have the shocks grooved. Thanks for sharing your info and experience with this setup.
