Eibach springs, 450 lb
I have a pair (2) of 2.5" Eibach race springs for use in a coilover setup. They are part # 0600.250.450, which means 6" long, 2.5" diameter, and 450lb/in spring rate.
$75; includes shipping to the lower 48 states. Also open to trade for lower rate coilover spring (250-350lb).

hmm ... comes out to about 8kg/mm. I have tein basics with a 7kg/mm front and 6kg/mm rear and I have been giving some serious thought to either lowering the rear rate or raising the front to help balance the car out a bit. If it was more like 480 - 500 (8.5-9kg/mm) I would be all over it but I would consider doing a spring swap for my 7kg/mm which roughly converts to 395lbs/in if you want to try that rate out for awhile.

so my current setup is tein with about 395/335 it it is way to tail happy for me but 700/325 seems like some serious overkill, does it just mean you run more negative camber and same sized bars f/r to keep it from oversteering? My setup requires lots of rear static camber a big front bar and removed rear bar just to keep it somewhat straight, but still oversteers slightly which I really dont like.

Atlanta, keep the 450s. Street comfort is 100% in the shock valving. An M.net member got a ride in my car before he copied my setup, and he said he could not believe how good my ride quality was with such high spring rates.

You can get 7 inch QA1 springs for $37 each from Summit Racing (and a free Summit Racing baseball cap for the redneck in you).
