I'm not sure what length will work with KWs and I'm not sure if KW shocks will handle that rate (I doubt it). The KW front rates are published simply as progressive but the rears are only 285lbs! What do you guys think? The car is under 2500lbs so the 450/500 rate is probably too stiff anyways. Think I would be safe with a 350lb spring? What would you go with? Any ideas what length I should get? If the car weren't in a shop an hour away getting a roll bar installed I'd go measure.

Cheers,
Spec guys run PSS9's with similar weight springs so I'm sure the KW's can handle it - as they are adjustable. As for spring length - you'll have to measure but I'd say a 7-8" spring would probably be enough if you weren't doing a tender spring. The H&R coilovers use a 160mm spring in the front with a tender spring.
