Looking to put together a good street/strip shock and spring set up
Like the title says im looking to put together a good street/strip set up. The car is a bolt on m6. I do some street racing and go to the strip on the weekends. Looking at doing qa1 type r in the front not sure on what spring rate to get and I probably won't swap to coil overs on the back and not sure what shocks to get and what size springs to get there either. Any help or suggestions would be helpful thanks

A 300lb springs will probably work the best for you but it really depends on the front end weight of the car. Have you done anything to lighten the car like get tid of the A/C or add a tubular k-member and a-arms? Have you done anything to add weight like a turbo kit, supercharger, or an iron block motor?

If that is all you have done than I would just stick with the 300lb springs with the QA1s you want to use, it will do everything you want/need it to.. You would need to be considerably lighter to use a 275lb springs and considerably heavier to use a 325lb spring.
