What Spring Rate for Road Racing

[Gitter Dun]

I'm running Global West springs, QA-1 shocks, and Hotchkis sway bar. I really liked it on the road course, ran 1:56 at Infineon running the Nascar chute configuration on Toyo RA-1's, 3400 lbs, 400/400 to the rear wheels. The front felt really good also, was running 650 lb springs and cut a coil off of them. Doug at Global West told me cutting a coil would add 10% to spring rate so I figure about 715 lbs. Felt a hair of a push but I just ordered 700 lb springs so hopefully that will be corrected.

Just ordered an aluminum block engine, should arrive in 3 weeks. Should take 100 lbs off front of car. With all other past weight reductions I should be at 3270 lbs with me in the car.

Cant wait for Buttonwillow on June 5th. We'll be running #13 cw configuration and I will be timing my laps.
