anyone? I've emailed a few shops to get their input. I've added weight to the front by going iron block, and weight of turbo setup. but lost a bunch of weight off front. tubular front crash beam, gutted dash, no ac, no abs, cleaned up harness, relocated fuse block. Lost a bunch of unsprung weight( which isn't used in figuring spring rate anyways).
I'm thinking 275 or 300lb springs in a 14" length. looking specifically at the afco big gun coilovers. front springs are basically there to hold the weight of the front up in a drag application, shocks will do the work of transferring the weight. if it matters car will be around 1300rwhp or so and looking for a total car weight of 34-3500lbs with me in it
