I wonder if Dave would be willing to say who his supplier was for the AZ "heavy duty" spring set. I have used them on two street V8 240Z cars and liked the stock height and the spring rates.

which would also result in a spring rate too high for the Illumina shocks

 

 

Probably not.  Do the math here (.55" wire dia, 12" free length, 4.75" OD. open both ends, 9 coils).

They can also find existing springs that match your requirements or custom make them.
