What springs to help with 60fts

I'm on Tein S Tech springs which i believe are prgressive rate springs but to me the car is a bit too low in the rear.

So i would like to raise it up a bit and also try and help out the 60fts as much as possible.

Is there a specific spring you guys like to use specific rate vs. progressive?

I'm tempted to even throw in the stock springs to see what they can do (Eric from AMS also said to give them a try).

My old Cobra loved the prog. Eibachs i had on it w/ otherwise stock susp so i'm wondering if i can get away with a set-up similar on the Evo w/o having to go to a full c/o.

Thoughts? Ideas? What do you run in your car and what kinda 60's?

I am on stock OEM suspension. With my 225/45/17 BFG drag dradials I've pulled a 1.52 so far with most of my sixtys being in the mid 1.5's.

Thanks for posting!

Wierd no one else care to share their set-up

Maybe an irrelevant question for my power level.....oh well that's what Test-N-Tunes are for.....

I don't have any experience with my GF210's yet (will in a few weeks).

I got a best of 1.6x on the stock suspension though.

I would try a soft spring rate like the stock spring, or you can go eibach which has a lighter spring rate then stock
