350lbs spring Got a a4 Trans am with a lq4 in it. I got a set of qa1 gs502 for a good price they came with 550 lbs springs. My question is I was told a 325 lbs 14 inch spring would be good but I can't get that spring would a 350lbs 14 spring still give me a soft ride?

Ride isn't necessarily based on the rate of the spring. The strut stiffness has more to do with it. I rode in a camaro with 1000lbs front springs and they felt like my 550lbs as far as bumps and manners goes.

IMO get the 350lb.in. 14" springs, if you can't find the 325s in stock.
I doubt you notice much if any differenceat all in ride between the 325 and the 350 springs rates.
FYI, Jegs has the QA1 #122-15FB325 325lb.in. springs in stock, if that's what you're looking for.

Yeah just give it a shot. Soft ride/rough ride. Everyone's got their own opinion about it. The only way you are going to tell is if you sit in it and drive it yourself.
