I'm building an Austin Healey V8, and am redoing all of the suspension, changing to coilovers front and rear. Does anyone have experience on choosing damping rates (based on weight/spring rate?) and suggestions for brands? I'm assuming I will want double adjustable damping.

Thanks

Thanks,

I planned on calling the mfrs for info. I would have liked to have better info, but this is a bit of a dark art. I added one ugly pic, I don't have much at home, but I can add more if there is interest. Engine is a 289 ford, will be mounted with a front plate, a midplate and a rear trans mount. Car will look stock, no flares or other crazy stuff. It is a 1960 BN7 which a nice 2 seat version of the 3000. Frame is being built up now and then it will be blasted and painted before final ass'y. Car was converted to V8 a long time ago in Cali, I bought it 5 yrs ago on the east coast.
