The average rule is 100-150# more spring in the rear. That's it. It is a pretty simple baseline to start from. Please note - that involves removal of the torsion bars.

My choice is 500# front & 600# rear to start.

I am running 500f and 650r no torsion bars and it is a very good setup for the track. Those are coupled with weltmeister front and rear sways.

My question is, the 250# fronts doesn't seem like much at all?? I have 250# welts and they don't seem stiff at all? I was thinking 400-500 on the fronts and 500-650 on the rears was where I wasa gonna go.

When I get around to doing my ft susp. 400 will be the lowest I will go. I talked to a bunch of the Cup guys racing at 944Fest this year and some of them still scrape the ft end with 600# springs on hard corners at the track. 250# is a tiny jump over stock it does not seem worth it. 350-400# FTW.

I'd recommend 450# for your rears. I think you would have a little better balance.

I was confused. I'll clarify. If you go 400# on the fronts, I would suggest you go with 500-550# on the rears to start with.

Jason at Paragon suggested to me a while ago that a good rule to start with is a 100-150# increase in the rear spring (if you are losing the T-bars).

What if we got a group buy for all four corner coilover kit/camber plate from ground control, think they would knock 10-15% off?
