Post Spring Rate?

Hey Guys, I got a question, I just swaped a v6 out of my 87 berlinetta and droped in a 377. My springs are pretty worn. I was wonderin what the spring rate for the z28 and the rs are? I need good clearance for my headers and I was also wondering what are some good brands for after market springs. Thanks in advance, Andy

If you're going to be using aftermarket springs then weigh the car front and rear. The weight in the front axle will determine what spring rate to get.

I use factory V6 springs in the front of my car.
