Spring rate recommendations - featherlite DA's
I picked up a used set of Pfadt Featherlight DAs and sent them to RE suspensions for service before installation. What f/r coil spring rates has anyone had good luck with ?
Mine is a dedicated HPDE / TT car driven to/ from track events.
No aero
T1 bars
Poly suspension
18x11/12 C14s ( 315 / 335 A's)
Any suggestions ?

I'm running 800lb front, 700lb rear on my featherlight SA's. C5, T1 bars, poly bushings, w/ aero, 3000lb (no driver). This was based on discussions with Pfadt Racing & Blackdog Speed Shop. I'm very happy with this set up. Aero is "moderate", meaning COT rear wing (60" wide) with ACP front splitter (no under tray) & vented hood.

They are currently fit with a new set of 750# eibachs on the front. Rears are of unknown rating / manufacture (although they are marked / stenciled with "A10.7 x 215" whatever that means). I'd just assume keep the fronts.
Does 650# sound about right for the rears - w/ no aero ?
