Default JRZ RS Pro Shocks

I going to pull the trigger and order some JRZ RS Pros tomorrow. Can I get some feedback on spring rates? My car is used 70% of the time on the street. I'm leaning toward 700/850, is this stiffer than the sport setting? Tires will most likely be Hoosiers.

Thanks!!

Try here:http://www.fordahlmotorsports.com/

Give Gregg a call. I think I remember that a 200lb difference is the target.

PJ: that looks like a Redmond photo. :-)

it is... I never get a hall pass on the weekends so when I see an opening, I like to take a dirty track car to ERTC and park next to all the pretty exotics for a few minutes and then go terrorize the sub snoqualmie jungle and back home for baby duty

600/800, it is a 911 not a Cayman.

The stock rates are 225 front and something between 550 and 600 in the rear.

I have a 997S that is dual porpose (80% track 10% street)

I aslo have JRZ RS Pro's installed with 650/850 spring rates with 175 helper springs

Car is a beast on the track and smoother than sport mode on stock for the street driving.

Pm me and I can help a lot and save you some headaches that I had.

PM me if you want REAL advice!

Default Hi Jon

I went 550 - 750 (kept the same helpers) with your old car and it improved the handling with the Hoosiers, but then again lots of differences to account for so it is not a direct translation.
