If it going more to track, do yourself a favor and do the TB delete and go to rear coil overs. Then you can adjust at will. You will need to revalue the Koni in the front or get new shocks matched to the spring rate. I would start at 400 front, 550 rear with no TB.
When I was running the Bilsteins (no TB of course), springs were F: 400, rear: 600.
Using Weiltmeister sway bars. Weight of the car was about 2970lbs
Handling was very nice.

Those struts have hats for Ground Control style camber plates, I believe I would have to change those hats to use Racer Edge camber plates and by the suggestions in this thread the 550 lb springs are a too stiff, but..... if the price is right, so with this in mind have your guy shoot me a PM,email or smoke signal on what he will have to have.

The beauty is that you can just switch over to lighter springs if the 550s are too stiff. My general impression is that the Escort Cups ride pretty firm but you could even get them revalved if they're still too stiff with softer springs David. Not doubting Lart's fine products but it might be worth getting them checked over anyway to see where they're at.

David ,
Cary' car the 069 S2 has 600 fr and 750 rears with Bilstien Escort Cup , It still has a decent ride on the street . We have all agreed that it is smoother ride than my Zermatt 87 with 400 fr and 28mm rear tbars with the hacksaw Koni's and Koni sport rears. We both have 30/19 sways. The rear sways adjusted all the way loose . Oh and we are working on those lower bars this weekend finally.
