thanks, i just downloaded the catalog, i know the stock spring rates have been posted hear before, and the rear is about 300 stock anyway i think chuck told me that. think i'd lean more tward the G kit with that stiffer rate up front, i rember being told that our cars like heavyer rated springs to compinsate for the added weight.

Don't want to go too stiff on the suspention. The front will sit like a truck and you will be depentent on your tires to flex and give more in the corners witch in conclusion will make the car under stear and loose control in a hard corner.

Someone else like Chuck maybe able to explain better and go into depth a little better.

I know you don't have a 3.8 but on my bird I just used 5.0 spring in the front with a coil cut off. Handled like it was on rails.
