I am coming close to finishing my Subaru SVX 3.3L engine swap into my '73. The 3.3L is heavier than the other Suby motors. I currently have front and rear sway bars and stock torsion bars (am looking into different front 911 suspensions). This car is for fun weekend trips through the mountains where I live. I would rather have the better handling over the comfy ride. I saw Pelican had 180# rear springs and renegade is selling 200#. Where are people buying 250# springs? Is this going to be overkill for my car? Thanks
