the only way to get the right springs is to know the weight on the front tires and you get this by 4 corner scaling the car.

once you have this info, you can call your favorite spring manufacturer or look through a moog catalog.

What you want is the tallest spring that will fit which is about 18", a spring that will undersprung the nose weight by upwards of 10% that will compress loaded just shy of coil bind.

with the right spring, a front and rear suspension that works and a little power

this is the result

3880 lbs. launched off the footbrake to a best 60 foot of 1.28 and the front coil springs are right out of Moog's catalog and uncut.
