The rate I recommend most of the time are the 300# units. The only time I would recommend the 315 is if it's an iron block car or a turbo car with the extra weight on the nose.

remember, you can also re-use your stock springs if you use BMR's spring cups. they are 60 bucks and will allow you to run conventional diameter springs (including stock and aftermarket lowering springs) while saving you about 60 bucks. just got mine put on with stock springs, BMR cups, and single adj QA1's. rides great, handles good for a drag shock. give BMR a call, its a quality piece.

Don't they all go by 275, 300, and 325 or something like that. If you ask me, I'm sure all 3 are pretty streetable. Were not talking about 400-600 here which is also very much streetable given good shock dampening.

As far as fronts go, Stock are 292, Sam's are 550 linear, and BMR's are 310 to 550 progressive. I'm not sure what rate the car actually sits at loaded though for the BMR's.
Note that the higher rate complements the lower ride heights for Stranos and BMR springs. Well designed springs are built at their rates and ride heights for a reason.
