Coilovers
I see that corvette central sells a pair of front coilovers for about a 1k. They offer different spring rates. Has anyone installed them and what's the preferred spring rate. Thanks

prefered spring rate depends what you plan on doing with the car, weekend cruiser? stock, weekend warrior? stiff. your age comes into it also. I wanted it lower with close to the stock rate, so I cut one full coil off the stock front spring. it matches the rear and doesnt beat me up. made it easy to reinstall after rebuilding my front susp. also
hope this helps
