Default Coilover replacement

Well I bought new M/T tires for my CCX and the fronts were now rubbing (23560R15) so i went to adjust the front coil overs. Couldn’t adjust in the car and the first one i take out the bushings are dried and cracked. Looking to replace all around and looking for recommendations front and rear. I have no idea what make/model is on here now. Just found G 814 12137 on front coil over.

Looking for recommendations for new coil overs that work with these cars.
I searched the forum and see most people use Koni. I would like some good handling coil overs so QA1, Koni, or whatever. Also what spring rate?

Thanks!
Pat

I have QA1 coilovers in front now, bud if I did it again I'd go with Viking double adjustable. Either will give you guidance on suggested springs through their tech support.

FWIW, I pounded out the nylon or delrin on the original rod ends / bearings on mine. Replaced them with solid steel ends.
