The first one sounds like it might push a little. The second one like it might push a lot.

Any other suggestions? Don't drive this on the street without a mouth-guard.

Whoa, those are some serious spring rates you're contemplating. What's in your car now? I'm surprised that you might consider a higher rate in the front than the back.

Is this a combination car (ie. track and street)? Give us a little more info.

Mostly track but I will put it on the street just to have a little fun and prevent flat spots in the tires on occasion. One pro team has had results in testing with slightly higher rate in front. They told me they get better bite from the rear at corner exit in their GT2. Another pro in a GT3R runs a 300lb difference front to rear. Moton shocks along with this pro recommend something else. Just looking for any other ideas out there.

I have those spring rates in a box. Don't have the money to do testing and installing trying to find the right combo. Would like to get it close to right the first time so I'm not pulling the suspension in and out all summer.
