So 'racer' has said 250/300 and polybushes - well he would he's a maniac!
That will make the car quite responsive (from experience) but a bit thumpy!
250 isn't really hard though Rob. People forget that on a 2.5/2.25 spring the rate equivalent is less than a full size spring.
I'm running 400lb on my car but with good dampers the car is still not overly crashy.
It’s the solid mounts and complete lack of carpet and sound proofing that make it harsh.
It’s the shell that’s the limiting factor with springs. Too hard and the body will just flex like crazy in hard cornering.
Fit a cage and cross brasses and squeaks and rattles will be reduced.
A good restoration with nice fitting panels inside and outside the car should help also imo.
