There's no simple answer ... depends on whether you're class sensitive, e.g., want to max out within an SCCA or NASA class allowables or if you are just trying to outfit your car for track use.

weight comming outa this one....i'm just wondering about the advantages of stiff springs verses soft springs....our car has a stock suspension now ,i don't want to make it worse instead of better...the red car has coil overs,and was easy to set corner weights...and if i screw up a turn in it ,ya just ket the motor fix it for you!!!
