Default What rear springs?

Right now I'm running stock cut ws6 springs and bilsteins. The car doesn't squat at all and 60s are all over the place. I'm running strange DA coil overs in the front no sway bar and a anti roll bar in the rear. What would be my best bet for rear springs. I'm looking at da Viking shocks just curious what springs to go with. 93-97 v6 coil overs etc.

You don't want the car to squat. You want it to hit the tires hard. Some stock springs will be fine.

This. If youre gonna pony up for rear shocks get the coilover and be done. 150 and 175 are the popular rear spring choices for drag racing.

Yup. But there's plenty of guys who have been 1.3x and even 1.2x with stock springs a good shocks. Not coilovers.

The spring on the shock or spring on the housing won't make much of any difference in performance if the spring is the right length and rate for that particular car's needs.

The benefit to a coil-over system is a wide range of said correct rate and length spring and a slight amount of weight reduction.

Justin you know to give us a call on all this stuff, get the right info and best deal!

And the ability to adjust ride height, which is very nice.
