OK, I hope someone does help me with this question, cause I know its going to sound kinda dumb but w/e.

I have the QA1 coilover front end suspension kit on my 98 camaro. I have the 325 lbs springs which I believe are 14" long. I need something way bigger, maybe a 500 or 600 lbs since I now have a BBC in it. I have taken it out a few times but them dampening in the shock isnt set right and the spring does not seem to give it an soild stability.
Is a 500lbs spring not big enough or too big?

I am also trying to figure out what to do with my back end because its all stock and my car was originally a V6 so my entire car bounces all over the place bottoming out everywhere which sucks. That doesnt help with the bbc and the 3" exhaust I have on this either.

I forgot to mention this is a street/strip car but will see more street until it gets more complete on it.

Are you saying you are getting a floaty, disconnected feeling?

So roughly how much weight did your big block at to the front of your car?

We sell a spring cup for use with the QA1 shocks that allows you to use a stock diameter spring. You still have the adjustment of a coil over but you can use the stiffer rates of the factory style springs. Our front springs are rated at 550lbs and should be all that you need. Give me a call if you have any questions.

Coil-over springs run about $65-75 each. If you want to call me we can get you some stiffer springs. But in all honesty what you are feeling isn't just from the spring rate, and in fact it's mostly the lack of shock damping. I bet if you turn the shocks up it'll be better (not good mind you, but better). In other words I don't believe more spring alone will help you out. Damping in the shocks controls mass and spring rate. You have more of one and are about to have more of the other.
