Have any of you guys had much experience with rear spring rate in a torana hatch? Not going to be circuit raced it’s a street car but the odd 1/4 here and there.

Front end is coil over and are 400lb still yet to test how this will go.

As for the rear I am doing a custom spring and shock setup.

Have read lowered lovells are aroun 600-700lb 🤷‍♂️

I want a firm but not too firm spring.

120ltr drop tank most likely won’t see many back seat passengers.

Thanks in advance

Lovells rear springs are about 250-280pds, sure closer to 250.
Front end lovells are 700-750 pounds.
These are are a reasonable starting point for road use.
Using them and a good shock(bilstein), 27mm front sway bar, Small rear bar will make it a nice car to drive.
