    Spring rates

    Fitting Group 4 Bilsteins to my mk1 RS2000 using the longer struts. What length spring and what poundage should I buy. Is the poundage the same on a 21/4 spring compared to the larger standard springs? I want to keep a normal ride height and I do not want a hard ride. I always used to use 145 or 190 +1" springs in the old road rally days and they weren't too bad.
