I would go with 0.890s myself, but there will not be a huge diff between those and 0.870s.

According to a recent article by AndyF in PHR, 0.890" in an early A body is about the same spring rate as that used on most new plain jane passenger cars (NOT sports cars, which are much stiffer).

I just dont want to end up with something that rides super harshly. My goal is to reduce body roll and improve cornering. Just don't want a jarring ride. Thanks for the input lou!
