rear spring
Was wondering if there is much of a difference between the the springs from the various vendors on spring choices, the 360# spring i am looking at is outta stock during this weekends sale and was wondering about going to a 340# that is in stock. Or going with a 355# from another vendor. Is there that much difference between brands and spring rates (355# vs 360#). Might be a stupid question but not sure if theres that big a difference between hyperco,trw muskeegan .etc. by the way ime going with the 550# fronts and ordering bilstein sports this weekend too. Thanks.

If you drive it a lot you'll want the least spring pressure to achieve the softest ride possible. It's also possible TRW makes all of them and then they get sold under different brand names.

FYI, increasing rear spring rate will necessarily alter your car's balance towards oversteer from wherever it is now, the larger the increase the larger the effect. So, I'd carefully weigh whether and how much so you wish to make this adjustment. My $.02
