Coilover spring length?

[baxterbaxter]

Hi all, about to buy a coilover kit as an x mas resent (to myself) and unsure of what length springs to get, i take it it depends how low you want it to go, i currently have -2'' spings on 2.8 legs, and it needs to go another inch or 2 lower (im aware i will more than likely need to mess about with other things) the lengths available are 8, 9, 10.5, 12, 14 inchs, and 250lb is about the spring rate wanted, with a 5.0 SBF up front. So what length of prings should i go for? or how can i work out what i need, its too cold outside to go and play with a tape measure any help would be ace!

Coilovers are height adjustable so spring length isn't too critical but my preferance is the 10.5".

Others may prefer other sizes.

I'd say 10,5" too.
