Everyone seems to want to know what lowering springs to go with. It has been my opinion that knowing the spring rate is a very important part of that decision.

Depending on your goals...will depend on what set of springs you will want to purchase.

I can't tell you who makes the best springs or the worse. Nor do I know what drop each spring will have because I have seen everyone have different drops with every manufacture. However, for the majority, the springs will drop the cars as advertised by the manufacture. These rates are for hardtop cars.

I know some of you on SVT Performance have different springs then what is listed here and I ask you to post the spring rate for those sets also.

This is just a collection from various sites and I had to call the manufacturer on a few of them because I couldn't find it on any sites.

Stock Springs= Front: 420 lb/in, Rear: 200 lb/in

H&R Sport Springs= Front: 490-575 lb/in, Rear: 250-285 lb/in
H&R Super Sport Springs= Front: 700-760 lb/in, Rear: 275-300 lb/in
H&R Race Springs= Front: 750-850 lb/in, Rear: 260-280 lb/in
H&R Super Race Springs= Front: 950-1050 lb/in, Rear: 260-300 lb/in

Eibach Pro-Kit Springs= Front: 456-570 lb/in, Rear: 200-251 lb/in.
Eibach Drag-Launch Springs= Front: 342-462 lb/in, Rear: 180 lb/in, Right Rear: 180-349 lb/in.
Eibach Sportline= Front: 425-550 lb/in, Rear: 200-251 lb/in.
