240 v8 coupe suspension questions

[qwarnon]

alright i have a few questions about suspension for my project. its a s13 coupe from 93. Im swapping in a 355 gen 1 chevy small block.

now i know thats going to add some serious weight upfront... basically my questions are

A) should i go for coilovers? (if so i would go for some cheapish ones.. megan, k-sport something like that)

B) if not would shocks and springs do the job just as well? KYB and eibach or tien or something along those lines

C) what kind of spring rates should i be looking for here. i know the stock rates for a 240.. im just wondering what i should be looking for with the added weight.

i plan to use the car for occasional runs down the drag strip.. and some occasional autox or scca stuff. but it will also be a daily driver.. im more concered with performance than ride quality and definetly more than looks.

thanks for all your help in advance,chris

ive heard around 600-650 mildly dressed. im going to relocate the battery to the trunk and the a/c and heater are removed.
