Again, there is a difference between truly bottoming out and hitting the bumpstops. And I'm sure that if you look at your axle, you will find shiny spots right below your bumpstops. I'm not saying that you can't run different springs, or that there won't be a difference between them. I am saying that most of what people feel isn't simply "hitting the bumpstops", but rather how hard they hit, and the car's reaction while coming back off of them....... That's a big realm of the shocks, and again most of these guys have crappy shocks, and that is a receipe for distaster. YMMV, and no two people are alike, but that's generally the case.

In the past i have heard that spring rates in the 450 range would work well on the frount on a car with Koni shocks. I have also heard that springs rates of 300(stock rate) were OK. I would like to know what springs I should use for a Weekend warrior to handle well at the track but still work on the street. I would not want to lower the car much and i would use koni SA all around.

What type of shocks should I get with the eibach pro kit. I am looking to add a stereo in the back that will weigh maybe 50 to 100 pounds.
