997.1TT Coilovers - Spring Rates?
There has been much previous discussion about this and I've read it all - I am having MCS 2 way non remote coilovers installed eventually(supposed to be today but shop realized I need camber plates in the front and they have to come from Tarret in CA)...
Car is purely street driven, no track time(I know MCS is overkill for street but I'm getting a good deal on the setup)
Originally we discussed 350F/550R but today we were thinking about going up to 600/800. I've read a good set of dampers can feel much better with stiffer springs...
Any thoughts on those spring rates given the intended use?
Thanks!

I'm going with Tractive and 425 Front and 850 Rear. I mainly do Tarmac stuff, but want stability at the track and comfort on the street. OP If you do not track 600/800 is too stiff.
Sunday Track car 600 F / 1000 R (100N/mm & 180N/mm)
The perfect all rounder for Front is 425 F (75N/mm) then adjust rear for either more comfort or more track. (Between 700 - 850)
425 is the tipping point where if you go stiffer on the front, then you start to close the gap on the rear. If you are softer than 425 on the front than there needs to be a larger separation to rear.
Stock my GTS is 190 F and 600 R (Rear is tripple the front Stock because front so soft)
GT3 Stock is 250 F and 685 R (Rear is 2.7 x stiffer than front.)
My setup 425 F and 850 Rear (rear is 2 x stiffer than front. )
Stiffer than this on the front and you should start to be less than 2 x )
Up to a Cup car which is 1500 F and 1500 Rear. (260N/mm & 260N/mm)
