That's it? 
Amazing man, looks pretty heavy duty, I second the notion for a video/sound clip!
When will you be racing it? I'd love to see some pictures of it in action.

Is it common to have such large differences in the spring rates front and rear.
I guess the only reason is because the car is rear heavy but 200lbs apart?

Eh, makes sense to me. 60% of the weight is on the rear vs. 40% on the front so the rear springs should be 50% stiffer. 400 * 1.5 = 600. Then again apparently cup cars are 1100/1300 which I don't quite understand beyond the fact that the spring rate from front to rear determines balance as well as holding the car up so the ratio could be tweaked to change how the car handles.
