Michelin Pilot Sport Cups but also may run slicks.

Am going to monoball everything and take all rubber out of suspension.

Car is 99% track. I go get gas and take it in for servicing. Otherwise it's towed everywhere.

tracks? bumpy? Smooth?

I started with 600/800 Too soft for hardcore use. I could drive it on the street. I have 1200/1000 now. I also run slicks which as a general rule require more spring rate then a DOT MSPC. I think I have too much right now to be perfectly honest.

A lot of guys run 800/1000 and a 200lb split is good, very good but the all knowing Lex from Moton recommends a 300lb split. If I were to do it again I'd opt for the 300lb split. I have 1200/1000 now only because I couldn't find a 900lb front spring.

If I were you I would use like 800/1100. That's what I would do If I did it again.

Victor,

You started with 600 front & 800 rear

but are now running 1200 front and 1000 rear

Why the 200Lbs stiffer in the front or was that a mistype?

Yes I Have Eibach, why?

Yea, I definitely need more rear spring. I'm lifting a wheel in some corners. I'm not due for a rebuild soon but when I do I'll add some more.

I'm at cup car spring rates now. Any more and I'll start twisting the chassis without a full cage.

What would you suggest for NT01, driven on the street only as necessary to get to the track, JRZ triples?

same, you'll be happy. Get a good baseline for the tripples, they're a bit complicated. I have Moton tripples

Ignore my last post, if you drive to the track I had great results with 600/800 there may be a 550, I can't remember.
