the pound ratings of the springs have almost nothing to do with lowering the car........with the stock parts, you can darn near have the car sitting on the ground (it'll handle like cr@p, but it'll look neat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )
what are you trying to do? (daily street driver, agressive auto-x or????) are new rims/tires in the picture? front: re-index the torsion bars (do a search here for torsion bars, this has been covered a whole bunch of times) rear: best bet is to get some "real" shocks such as Bilsteins or even better yet, Koni Yellows and put on adjustable spring perches (search here for pictures, vendors) |

According to Pelican Parts the 100lb springs will give you a stock ride height or higher, and, the others will lower the car. Add adjustable bilsteins and you can tweek it anyway you like. Adjust torsion bars for the front.

140-150lbs springs in the back will drop the rear end an inch to inch an a half.
adjust the torsion bars in the front. adjustable shocks would be good. |
