350pd leafs for 2-3 inch lowered is good for a 1200 with a bit of power.
Depending on the angle the springs are mounted you may need more than that for a 1200 with some grunt.

Datrotor, I have used 175 lb, 200 lb and 250 lb springs in the rear of 1200 race cars. With these spring rates the car was fairly soft.

What are your front spring rates? Peter
