Same here - coilovers all the way around would have been nice. I've used G2 springs in another car, and I really liked the performance and stance......but they are on a 6 week backorder <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I really don't want to wait 2 months to put my new suspension on!

Check out Global West. They make custom springs/spring rates and will sell you only the rears if you want. I think they ranged from $120 to $150 depending on your setup.

They also sell front and rear coil over kits.

factory v6 springs seem to be popular for drag racing.. about an inch lower than stock, and little softer for more squat.. i have eibachs on back and am keeping them.

Hal makes rear coilovers but you need to custom mount them. Hals are great for drag but suck for handeling. Had them on my camaro and the car had crazy nose dive(hit the ground). The problem is when you turn the adj. it changes the fuid rate both up and down not so good for autoX. had to scrap and buy Bilstein revalved.

Default What rear springs with HAL/QA1's?

I am installing HAL/QA1 shocks and front springs on my 2002 SS. My objective is good street handling (the ability to corner better than stock), improved 60' times at the strip, and improved (lowered) stance. What rear springs will compliment the HAL/QA1 setup to achieve my goals?

Thanks! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'm in the same boat. I just wish the height adjustment was offered in the back not just the front.
