You win a prize, never saw that before.

My initial take is, if it worked, EVERYONE would be using it.

I'll stay tuned for further comments.

rate = 1000 to 1250! Makes a Challenge spring look like macaroni!

I have one. I think it is 1100 lb spring rate and the rear is around 800lb. If you do the front you will need to upgrade your rear as well.

Is your car used for track? If so, did the spring make an improvement in handling? I have an 84Z51 rear which is close to 600 lbs.

First, my car is used for autox and track. The spring did improve handling and lowered the car as well. I probably wouldn't get one for street use but you can. If you wanted to use the 600lb rear spring you would probably want the 1000lb front spring. I'm sure vbandp could help with your decision.
