I've been loking around and I am trying to find a suspension setup (for my 240sx) that will match the springs properly to the struts. I don't just want the 'best looking drop' I want the best mix of performance and daily drivability. Is there any where I can find information on the spring rates for the various manufacturers? I ran a search and found some informative threads but all discussed one specific set of springs/spring rates..

I think it would be great if we could get one list with all the different spring rates offered by manufacturers and good matched struts etc. Since if they are mismatched, your setup will never be as good as it can be..

D'oh! pwned.

Yes, that's a great post, tons of useful information! Let me clarify then, lets say I have Eiback springs, and I want to know are these better matched with tokico Hp's or KYB's etc.. (that's teh situation I'm facing right now) That's what I was trying to get at. But let me read absolutely everything in that link, since I had only read parts of it, lest that info be there as well
