Default QA1 front coil spring rates.

I am getting these soon, and needed to know if I should look into a 275lb or 300lb spring?

No, you have to use the QA1 struts with the Qa1 springs.....

I usually recommend the 275#'s for drag only and the 300#'s for street/strip. The 275# springs are so soft you will have a hard time getting the ride height back to a decent street setting.
