People with rear coil overs please come in

[1SLO5.0]

What is your rear weight at each wheel and what spring rate are you running? I'm going to order a new set of coil overs and need to know what spring rate to get with them. The ones I have aren't cutting it. My rear weight is 654 on the left side and 533 on the right with me in the car. I'm guessing it will be somewhere in the 580s or 590s on each side when I balance it out.

My rear weight is 1680 lbs and I run the Hypercoil 150# springs.

I went according to the Strange Engineering chart and I personally think the 150s are too heavy of spring rate for my car. I would like to try some 110-130# springs this summer.

My springs are a variable rate 130/250 lb. My car unloads the rear suspension horribly after the front end comes down and I can't recover it at any point down the track. The back of the car actually bounces so bad you can hear it in the exhaust note (surging). My shocks are QA1 12 way adjustable but have a single adjustment knob. The tuffster told me to throw them away and get a set of Strange double adjustable coil overs. I don't want to spend the money if they are not going to solve my problem.

The back of mine scales 16?? and I run 100#. Tried everything from 200# down to 100# while at the track and 100's worked the best for me.
