When the car was in the 'MUT8SHN' config, a 71 LeMans, I ran lowered springs, think they were 575lbs rate.

When I went to the endura nose, I had to up it to like 650lbs, and a slightly taller spring. Mostly to prevent bottoming the suspension out.

Keep in mind I have free-articulating suspension, all del-alum, so requires a higher rate than factory type control arm bushings. Also have solid body bushings.

And no, before anyone asks, it rode fine, and not like a 'truck' like so many comments. Setup properly, it rides better than stock. Shocked all who rode in it, because it crushed the internet parroting narrative.

EDIT: To be more specific, I use Global West spring exclusively.
