It would really depend on several factors in the front of the car, such as the weight. aluminum heads?,tubular k-member?, tubular a arms?, all of these items will change how the front end of the reacts to different rates. If it is heavy like a factory stock car it would need more of rate than a pure street car. I know this is not quite an answer but it is.

You might want to post this in Pure and Real Street. We are not allowed any tubular stuff.....

Try a 14inch 130LBS spring...That should get you in the ballpark.
