Default spring ?
I have a #360 fiberglass rear spring, I`d like to get the car lower in the rear. It`s at 28 1/4" now. The front is at 26 1/4". If I put on a #300 spring would that lower the rear or just make it ride softer? I do have 8" bolts that are lowered almost all the way.

You don't really want to go any longer than the 8" bolt. If he ever got a flat tire with a 10" long bolt, it could get exciting real quick.
