    coil overs will be fine with DD is just depends on how stiff you want it to be, I went with SOT coilvoer kit because they had 3 different type of spring rates.

     

     

    As long as you go with a common size coil over with a 2-1/2" diameter spring, several companies (AFCO, QA1, Eibach, Bilstein and others) make quality springs in a wide variety of rates. For example on front set ups with a 12" length spring which mounts to the lower arm as most have, Ron Morris uses 350# for small blocks, other companies use 450#. But you can get the springs in 25# increments to pick whichever fits you and your set up. Even though SoT offers three spring rates, you are not limited to those. There are several sites that have spring rate calculators to get your set up close. Rear suspensions have the same variations in spring rates depending on the company. But it all boils down to your preference on the comfort you want, and the type of driving you do. Good luck.

    Hehe, yeah, a bit to far. The freight of the car was "only" about $1300 across the atlantic ocean. Most of the time the shipping of parts cost more the actual parts. :blink:

     

    Well, I don't know how many Mericans would go to the lengths you guys do to save these cars. Y'all got my respect. And kudos on picking the best looking car EVER!

    RPM - I´m located in Sweden, might be a bit to far for any of you guys to help me :-)

    Yikes! Sweden? Just a bit too far for me. I'm still amazed by all the cool cars you guys get to Europe and Australia. I'll complain about a $100 tow bill. Can't imagine what it takes to get parts and cars delivered. Good luck with your car.
