coil spring rates
Does anyone know how to figure out what rate of coil spring is needed for a particular application? I am in the process of collecting parts to convert my 1969 torino from leafs to a mustang factory 4 link. I just dont know what rate springs i need, and i don't have a clue what info is needed to figure it out. the weight of the car is 3,173 lbs which is really close to what a fox body mustang weighs. should i start out with a set of fox mustang coils, and go from there?
any thoughts?
Thanks
Matt

That would probably be a good idea.\
The mustang springs might be just fine if the ride height works out where you want it.
But this is a matter of what you want from the car. If they are too soft, you can always go with some adjustable coil-over shocks.

Check this site. You can custom order springs for various applications or get just stock, standard springs. http://www.springworks.com/auto-coil-spring-order.html
