I have found a firm that can make any spreing any diameter any hight at any spring rate. So the question is what would be the best spring rate and hight for an s12 for drifting.

450 of what and 340 ass follows
thi hight or spring rate if so in what unist [SI] metric or another

the rating is in lbs, and as far as height that is hard to say since the extra stiff spring will be tricky to find the exact height neede without testing different heights out

As a rough guess to start try getting some body to push down on the back of the car until it is at the height you like. Then measure the springs, and release the car. Then lift the car off the ground. The difference between the two divide by three, and add to the compressed length. This will give you a somewhat of a starting point. Then do the same for the front. It is not exact, but it is usually somewhat close. 8)
