I have gotten to the point where I need to consider the spring rate. The rear trailing arms are in with true 5 lug hubs, 911 brakes, and some reinforcement. The shocks are bilstein sport. It is a road car with 16 in wheels running no flares so the tire size will be 205.
I have the original springs from the 1972 four cylinder donor. So ladies and gentlemen, please help me with shopping, or not shopping. Thank you! |

I bought a set of 165. But it's just a guess. If I don't like it, I'll change it. Rode in a stock body with 180 and it seemed a bit harsh on pa roads but I have no idea what shocks were on the car and if they were any good.
