Hi,
I am about to do quite a bit of work on my 93 244- including replacing the steering rack and working on the suspension. In addition to replacing struts/shocks and bushings all around, I am thinking I would like to replace the spring coils. I tend to have to drive on roads that are not in the best shape- in the last year or so my 244 has become a lot softer, and is starting to be rattled by EVERY bump in the road.

Should I replace all the coils? Only the front? I am guessing the rear are not under anywhere near as much stress. I don't know how relevant it is, but the front is approx 3 inches above the tire, while the rear is approx 2 inches above the tire. Any thoughts? Thank you.
