front or rear? That will work for rear I know for sure. You just need to watch your travel. If I remember right (on the rear) around 10" and you're on the bumpstops.

My car is not a daily driver. It's just driven for weekend cruising and driving to the strip.

For the rear it would be to stiff.....I would stay around 150-170# spring rates. Let me know if you might have any other questions.

This is mainly for drag racing, I'll just be driving to the track and cruising every now and then.
