Details on the new setup? Is that why you were in the Beachhouse asking spring rate Q's? :P

exactly.

i measured things up and the springs are very close to the eibach springs in the g/c setup, but that is going to be too hard a spring rate for a rear wheel drive car so i'm going to tinker with the cantilever ratio to soften it up slightly.

i'll sell the gc setup, but i'm keeping the fronts.

slam the tops inwards, better handling for sure, like below. shock load is directed more towards the shock vs away from it in a sideways load, plus gives the cantilever you are looking for

i don't see a cantilever anywhere there. as for the old rear setup, to be honest, i don't even know what they are worth. maybe $75 plus shipping? they are supposed to be 400# springs and koni single adjustables.

here is the beginning of the rear suspension.

I hope you wouldn't mind if I "borrowed" a few of your ideas.
