For my six conversion which will be 90% street, 10% driver's ed car. Not an autocross monster.

Rear Adjustable Perch Bilstein Sport Shocks
Mueller's needle bearing kit
No rear swaybar
Springs???

Front Bilstein Sport Shocks
23mm solid torsion bar
23mm adjustable Smart Racing Swaybar
Front needle Bearing kit

Car will be lowered slightly (I may have the spindles adjusted in the front).

What rate springs for the rear? 175 lb, 200 lb? or more?

I want a comfy ride but I want it to handle on the streets too.
