    Hi everyone.
    Does anyone know what the original rear spring poundage rate is and what would be suitable for circuit racing? I have a company here in the UK that can make them for me very cheap :) as getting them sent over from the US is just so expensive.

    Also I would like to know what spring rate was used for racing on the front.

    Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

    Regards

    Phil

    Thanks thats a start, Ive only got 4 months to build this car from scratch so I wont have much time to test on track when finished. This will give me a good starting point.

    Best regards
