[QUOTE="DCguy, post: 16845956, member: 196849"] 300/500 is a pretty good street/strip setup and can take a corner if needed. I've seen quite a few people go with 600 in the rear for the street as well. A stiffer spring rate in the rear has some advantages like less squat under acceleration and less body deflection during corners......which is important to note if you're running really wide rear wheels/tires with aggressive offsets......you'll want a stiffer spring rate to help keep the fenders from contacting the tires, especially if you're lowered more than 2 inches or so. In other words, the more you lower your car, consider a stiffer spring. 400/600# coils will get you far less articulation during braking/hard cornering and is a setup that favors corners, not weight transfer for drag racing, but is still driveable / tolerable on the street as long as you stay on decent surfaces. Anything beyond that is going to be too uncomfortable on the street and more of a dedicated weekend track day toy with minimal use on the street, more meant to withstand the body roll you'd get from the load slick tires would generate. But like stated, springs are only half the equation. You need to choose shocks to match that spring rate or you're not going to have a fun time. [/QUOTE]
