starting to build my front suspension

i am ready to build my front suspension up just not sure what springs to get, and what advantages or disadvantages there are to coil overs, i will be getting a tubular k member as well but i was wondering if the stock lower a arm will work with any tubular k member for now,

i want to go with a qa1 setup as well

thanks

build it up for what??

i assume drag racing??

i've always read on here that the qa1 setups are a drag setup only...they work for handling...but are not the best for it...by far.

The 275 springs are drag springs only recommended for vehicles with front end weight reduction such as a K-Member, manual rack, AC delete ect. If you are planning on really cutting the front end weight these will work. If you arent and drive the car on the street go with the 300lb springs.
