Ground Control coilover conversion - Help me choose spring rates
Hi everyone,
I'm new here! Just picked up a new-to-me 968 and planning to order a set of coilover sleeves to compliment the Koni yellows and MO30 sways. I spent time searching the conversion (e.g. spring rates) via google and on this site and couldn't find what I was looking.
Can someone help guide me on spring rates? This is a 3rd car, non-daily driver that's used for autoX and spirited drives. I'm planning to re-index my torsion bars so we're talking fronts only.
Thanks in advance

There's quite bit written on this subject. Basically you'll want to keep the back stiffer than the front and if your staying with the 28 mm rear bar then you shouldn't go more than 200 lbs at the front. You might want to look at the Lindsey Racing rear adjustable sway bar as it has more adjustability then the stock bar. Also I assume you've looked at solid bushings front and rear? Those make the car handle more precisely and if you're re-indexing the rear bar then it's a good idea to do the Elephant Racing rear bushings.
