which spring to put on my car??

Well i have a 98 formula ws6 with 130k miles and im looking to change up the springs to go with the koni da/sa shocks im picking up tomorrow. Being as my car is a 98 ws6 and everything ive read i should have the 1le springs but i just bought a set of hotckiss springs for a really good price my question is stay stock or go with the hotckiss springs.

Are you looking to lower the car and improve on ride stiffness? Since you are going with some nice konis... I would say upgrade the springs and your ride will be greatly improved. The hotchkis will be nice.

You should be able to tell by the rear springs since the rear 1LE rear springs are progressive (130-180 lb.in.) and the regular springs are linear (113 lb.in.).
