[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 11144775, member: 6247"] Teej: I think you skimmed over part of my post. I've highlighted the pertinent information: This means from the pivot points of the control arm to the connection point of the coil-over is not the same front to rear. This makes the rates completely differerent from front to rear. I don't have a Terminator, I have a NA Cobra R. It does not have all of the additional weight of a Terminator with the S/C and all of the related goods that come along with it. It now sports an AL Ford GT block as well. I have not changed the spring rates. (yet) I may at some point but the car is enjoying semi-retirement at this time. The car has been corner balanced after the AL block motor install but I don't have the numbers in front of me. To sum this up, if you want a kick ass track car, I would not go less than 425 on the front or more than 575 on the rear. [/QUOTE]
