Finally putting my front end back together and really don't want to re use my old front springs. Car is 86 we, 3800sc swap. Rear suspension is coilovers with 325 (I think,I bought them 5 years ago lol ). I've got RDs lowering ball joints in so I want a stock spring length, but have no idea what the best rate will be. Use is strictly for fun, maybe autox again one day, so it doesn't need to be crazy hard or mushy soft. Spirited is what I'm shooting for. Stock wheels and Grand am brakes up front. Thanks in advance gang!

I'm curious... where are you expecting to find a choice of custom spring rates for the front of a Fiero? Does such a supplier exist?
What's wrong with the original front springs? Are they sagging? If not, and especially if you still have the original front shocks, you might be quite surprised with how much better the car will feel with modern replacement front shocks.

You are either going to reuse the stock springs or get some lowering springs. No one makes coilovers for the fiero fronts currently. You may be able to find a used kit.
I would suggest going with what Patrick suggested, get some new shocks and see how it feels from there.

Stay with the stock springs if they're not sagging. New front shocks. Bigger sway bars front and rear.
