I understand 350 lb springs will give a harder ride, but would they be good with a v6? I want a firm suspension setup, and found some 350 lb springs. I got my ideas from fierohoho's thread about building cheap coilovers.

That is what I have on my rear Coil overs with the stock V6 on my 88.
They are stiff but I personally like them. Car handles well and ride is very good on decent roads.

I have the 350lb springs from held on the rear.
Mid-engined handling dynamics dictate a higher spring rate for the rear for optimum handling.

I have 375lb. springs on my 88GT with a 3800SC and a 4T60E trans.The car rides a little stiff,but it's ok.1.75 60 ft time with tires that are not good for traction.I believe the springs had a lot to do with my 60 ft times.the car weighs 3160 with 1280 lbs on the front and 1880 on the rear.

Question my ability,question my intelligence,never question my integrity!

Your car weighs 3160 :O.....How in the world did yours get so heavy? I see that the auto helped along with the engine, is that all that's been changed on your car? I'm looking for lightweight for my car, I'm hoping to keep it right at the 2500 it weighs now, or less if possible with a engine swap.

Alright, thanks everybody! +'s for all

I had the car weighed on a commercial scale that is used to weigh trucks.I assume it is reasonably accurate.It is the car in my signature.
