    Coil over spring rates for 2jzgte swapped car

    I've got some info on weights and found my engine and trans are around 730lbs.
    What spring rates should I go with?

    I like it low and stiff.

    No one?
    Any suggestions on what brand?
    Price doesn't matter. With that said I don't need ASTs

        Research tells me an m20 with trans is 427 lbs
        So 300lbs more

          I would run 12k in the front. That's what I ran in my 1JZ car.

                    Really need to get some coil overs

                    My rear squats like 1.5" and rubs my sidewalks on these 245s
                    I'm planning on 275s and flares but need something stiff but not too stiff that I won't get weight transfer.

                      This. I'm running their kit on my DD and it rides amazing. Everyone is surprised how nice it rides. Call GC and talk to Mark, he'll be able to help you choose the correct rates for your car.

                        Do you think they would sell rear coil overs only?

                          I don't see why not. Selling something is better than selling nothing...
