What Spring Rate for Road Racing

[slow4dr]

Personally, I feel autocross is much harder to get a good working car. From brakes to feel. I really like the feel of my car on the road course. Going fast in autocross is always going to be a compromise. I really think autocross calls for a really stiff car to keep the body roll out of it. You watch that TCI camaro. That thing looks suspension less. It didn't fair so great on the big track set up that way.

I wouldn't use the TCI Camaros performance on the big track to compare autocross vs road course suspension settings. I think the powertrain played a bigger role in that variance than the suspension did. That car ran a 1:57 with a first time road course driver using an engine making a whopping 347whp through a 700R4.
