> It really varies from car to car. Like I said, if the spring is too soft, it will bounce and cause you to lose traction. Some people run real soft front ends with hard rears, so the front comes up and stays up, while the rear stays planted and doesnt rebound alot.

For front springs I have Eibach sportline springs…they are pretty stiff. My from KYB shocks are on setting 3…the front rides/handles great…Lifts right up about 6"+ when I smack the gas…

My rear springs are stock but I did the “hose” mod which is taking out the rubber insolator ontop of the spring where it sits against the body and put garden hose on the top coil of the springs…this lowers the rear 3/4" to 1"…I had the eibach sportlines on the rear as well but the car never hooked up with them…and like I said the rear shocks are on setting 7.
