Hence my original question.

There are three regional races sponsored by Land o' Lakes at BIR this season. Hoping to be ready on time.

After not having any luck finding these by size (thanks, Spencer), it's Rose Passion to the rescue (I suppose). Ordered. Thank you, Tony, and everybody else who helped here.

Which ones did you go with?
Funny enough I put off buying from RP for months just because their website format was so foreign to me that I just assumed it was a scam site till I was told otherwise on here. Maybe the French just don't like modern easily used websites?

To the best of my knowledge Rose Passion has been around for a long time. Admittedly, their choice of name seems rather incongruent. On the other hand, the name reminds me that the French invented eau du toilet.

I decided to get the 220 pound ones. And shortly after I placed the order, I received a message from DHL indicating that they received the package and that I owed a small amount for taxes. The VAT is excluded for foreign orders so the Government here gladly applies it.

Where are you located that you got hit with a VAT replacement tax?

How did you settle on 220lbs?
I burnt a lot of mental calories deciding on spring rate. The 220lb were unavailable when I ordered, and knowing what I know now they probably would've been the sweet spot for my very aggressively street driven car. My only frame of reference is stock (160lb?) and 200lb, but extrapolating from there I think 250lb would be less than ideal on the roads I'm stuck with. On the rare smooth pavement I do wish for a bit more than the 200's though..

I hope I didn't give that impression, stock suspension is fine but replacing the entire rear set-up is not in one of the series I'm considering. Can't remember which now...

Canada. In its place HST tax is applied and the shipping firm will collect it. Normal operating procedure.

Why this amount? Some familiarity. Some recommendations. I've used it before, however, I'm no expert when it comes to suspension set-up. I can easily see making changes based on track design or other factors.
