Springs:
My input is to get more spring rate then you think. 2 years ago I replaced my stock springs in my 75 Formula with springs I speced from Coil Spring Specialties. I did a lot of reading and felt that Ws-6 specs at 430 lbs was a good place to be. I speced the drop I wanted.
The springs gave me exactly the stance I wanted so they nailed that. But the car still felt a bit floaty with new Monroe shocks..Not their fault It was my number. Just not that big a change from stock.

I recently bought the PTFB GT kit with some Koni 1017's that I bought elsewhere.
I've only put the 630 lb GT springs in front only so far with the Konis.
I also have the Solid bushings from RamAir Resto (PTFB parts)
The car isnt dead stiff like I feared. In fact I would got higher if I did it again.
