Alright guys this is going to be a very basic question for some but keep the smart *** commets to yourself please..I could just ask for an answer and run with it but im trying to learn so please go in depth if can..thanks in advance!

What is the idea behind different spring rates on the front end? I understand the main idea is weight transfer but why go with a spring that origianlly was in a 4 cylinder car when running a V8 car? Is this only benificial for a car struggling to hook? If you have consistant 60 fts and aren't spinning the tires should you even waste the time and money to replace?

We are running the stock v8 spring front of our 88' mustang.. we have a line on a set of 4 cylinder ones, but we could afford to spend money on something better if its out there. What would be the best.. not best bang for the buck just simple the best option?

Thanks again
Braf
