Ok trick question, how do you pick one and know your ride height once it's installed. You can't know can you? I mean how would you know, what am I missing?

Glad to see you post this mike I'd like to try a spring that's between the stiffness of the neuspeed race and sport springs.

HAHA thats where adjustability comes in handy! but if u get really mathematical with the spring rate and the weight of the car u could figure it out(i think:confused: ). but what i'd do is base it off of your old springs. if ur going stiffer then get a slightly shorter spring as it won't compress quite as much. u gotta really think about it before u go for it.

Yeah putting them on coil-overs would be the easiest answer on the ride height thing. Kinda funny it's the same price to pick higher springs rates if you have ground-controls, $55 each.
