Default Looking to buy qa1s up front, what spring?

I was set on 275s, but now I'm concerned with the car bottoming out and breaking stuff. As for weight, it has headers, no ac at all, will have a lightweight bumper support, no sway bar, no air system, skinnies and fiberglass hood. I'll also put the battery in the rear. Car won't see too much track time, but I want it to hook. It's also not daily driven. So 275 or 300?

I mean, I drive the hell out of mine on the street on the 275s, heavy (very heavy) turbo junk up front aswell. No issues yet.

Edit: all depends on how you drive it

We've had a lot better customer satisfaction with 300's over 275's.

If you say "won't see too much track time" I say 300. Or 325...

Like Ramey said, I very rarely recommend anything under a 300 unless it is a stripped down N/A or Nitrous aluminum block combo that sees more track time than street. I think 300's will be on par for what you need
