I originally planed on spending about $1,000 on suspension but I'm sure you guys know how that goes. Just purchased MWC full front race kit, along with solid motor mounts, and the front and rear bumper supports. Very happy with those guys and the prices.

But now I'm wanting to spend a little extra for the rear springs and shocks. Makes sense to me. As of now I have the Wolfe adjustable spring mount on the rear and a 10" 150lb spring, with Bilstein shocks. I bought the AFCO front shocks and springs from MWC so I'd like to match the same for the rear.

But for the spring what lb should I get. I already know I want to go up to a 12" spring from the 10" because I have the adjuster all the way down and its still tucking tires by 1/2". Should I stay with the 150lb spring or go to a 125lb. My WS6 will weigh around 3,100 lbs when I'm done with it, and will still be running a T-56 trans. And if anyone wants to add in what brand of spring to run that would be great.

I'm going to ask the guys at MWC what they think when I place the order, just want to see what you guys say

If you wanted to stay with a 150 lbs spring rate, then yes a 12" spring would probably be the answer depending on how much higher are you wanting to raise the rear ride height. Now if you want to go with a 125 lbs spring rate I would need to know
the spring length at ride height with your 10" 150 lbs springs. This way I'd be able to know if 12" 125 lbs springs will give you the ride height increase you want, or if you need to go to a 14" 125 lbs rear springs.

As of now with 150 lb 10" springs, I have the adjuster as high as the car will go and the top of the tire is still 1/4 to 1/2" under the fender when looking at it level. I dont have any pictures but to put it into perspective when I took it to the track after the install the torque arm knocked a hole through the drive shaft tunnel. The adjuster will still go down 3 inches, and I just want to raise it about 1" or 1 1/2", so I think a 12" spring would do the trick. Just not sure if I would need 150lb or 125lb.

If you want to go with a softer 125 lbs spring rate I'd go with a 14" spring otherwise with a 12" go with the 150 lbs spring rate.
FYI, the AfCO springs are listed as 2-5/8" ID, not 2-1/2" ID so you'll need to verify if you can use them with the Wolfe adjustable spring mounts . My preferred springs are Hypercoils.
