The D/A's can handle a whole buncha spring.
whats a good front spring rate if your staying with eibach pro lines in the rear?
based on my set up, I had those for a while id say 250. my 275's felt a little stiffer and made the front seem soft compared to the rear, but could also be my tokico illumina's cant keep up with the 275s.
What shocks / struts are you running?
Need to stay conservative or ride will suffer. Something in the 250-275 range for a cruiser is good, up to 300 for more handling. On mine, ride fell well off north of there.
experimenting with a stiffer spring on the right rear only may be an inexpensive way to help control jacking under acceleration, rear springs are pretty quick to change -
also consider experimenting with f150 - f250 - f35o up to f550 etc. front coils can be purchased as singles - may be cheaper then brand names and get the same result - this is considered fun stuff for guy who gets bored easy and can't sit still - some cutting may be needed for the fronts to fit
if your not experimental a progressive spring will add comfort - this may be causing confusion for some higher to lower ratings - a higher rated progressive spring may add the comfort of a lower rated non-progressive spring
Its either a pro-kit (black spring) or a sportline (red spring)?
The Pro Kit black spring is a progressive rate spring (200-250 LB in the rear (456-570lb in the front))
The Sportline red spring is a linear rate spring (250 lb in the rear (550Lb in the front))
Also take into consideration sway bar sizes and tire sizes as well...
