Spring Rates for 2nd Gen Firebird???

[BMR Tech]

2nd gen use a 5.5 OD spring , a 5" or 4.5" will not fit the top frame pocket

That's right, 1st gens are the ones that use the 5" spring, 2nd gens and practically every other GM car use 5.5". I stand corrected!

ok i talked to QA1, and they have some old stock springs. they have a 600lb and a 800lb that will work with my coilover. What do you recommend.....i think the 800 would prob do better with the wider rear wheels. it should balance out the handling but will the 800 pound spring beat up my aluminum wheels to much on the street??????

i have got the feeling that the 600 is a little soft and the 800 might be fine or a little to much for the street.

any input is appreciated.

thanks
