Call gc. But 440 front 650 rear, depending on how harsh you want it.

i dont want it annoying as F$&% harsh but i like it to be fairly stiff

[bsturman92]

[bsturman92]

well i called and whoever i talked to said that when i go to do my order. just fill out the info and they will decide the rates? wth. i didnt wanna be rude so im just gunna call later on

Generally you want the rear springs to be 120-130% of what the front springs are, and no more than 150%. My rates are ~500F/~550R. You can stack lower rates springs (ex one 200lb, one 300lb spring instead of one 500lb spring) which will act like a progressive rate spring and be a little less bone-jarring at low speeds, but that will probably break your $1,000 budget.
