Cannot remember what my old springs were and going to order my new coilovers (GAZ DA’s I think) this weekend and need to know what springs to get. (I am not a suspension set-up master)
As I don’t know how heavy it’s going to be on the back end it’s just a guess.
In the rear of the car there’s going to be an 8-gallon fuel cell (old tank removed) and pumps and stuff the back part of the cage and some strengthening plates, Battery and flat boot floor so don’t know how heavy that is.
Read some were that its better going for something like 400’s but don’t really know.
Car will be an all rounder Track/Countryside but I can get more springs at a later date if high poundage is only ok for track so could just change them all over when I go to track days.

400's are far too hard for normal roads pretty good for the track though. maybe some 200's for the road. whats the front spring rate?

i have custom coilovers on the front with 225 pound springs and on the back you want around 180 to 200 pound, this is for tarmac, track days you would want heavier poundage.
