ride vs spring choices
 
I am still undecided on which package to go with so I think I'm going to base it on spring rates vs. a comfy ride. The Global West package has 700-850/160 rates (f/r), Steeda has 650/200-250 and MM has 600-720/205-250. Anyone has any opinion on these springs? I'm leaning towards the GW because I heard that most of the comfort is based on the rear spring and these are the softest.

PS. The LCA along with Konis will also be part of the package.

Stock is 430-550# variable rate.
I personally ran the Eibach "street" springs which are 10% stiffer 450-580. Great spring.
I got a little more into opentrack racing and went with 650# linear BBK springs.
Now I Finally got the right ones, and got some 800# (400#) coilover springs.

Personally I would go with the Eibach ones that I had.

The fms springs are a bargain.

5300B - 430-530/200-300
5300C - 620/200-300

Also, the koni's are probably a little much if you want any ride comfort (never used them, just what I've heard). You could save some money with the tokico shocks too...

I'm not too keen on the Steeda or MM control arms. GW's are good (if you don't wanna use a panhard, or have weight jacking).

The granatelli arms (made by ground pounder) look good. The www.wmsracing.com race arms look even better!
