275lb spring??

Are the 275lb springs on a stock 95 t/a not enough? I had to send my qa1's in for repair because they quit adjusting from soft to stiff..

i was always told that 275lb springs were a little soft for an iron block car.. i went with the 300lb springs on QA1's but havent installed the motor yet to see how it rides.

Stock is just about 300.... and of course that is at stock ride height. So anything lighter, or the same rate but with less ride height is too soft. And no, 325's are not enough extra rate to support the car if it's lowered much more than about 1/2" from stock.
