Message but my current rates, for this car, the way I drive are far too low. 600/400 is way too soft, I have heavy roll (especially in the front, I'm almost thinking that convential Stillen aftermarket sway bars may not be thick enough for my goals). The way I turn in and brake (maybe someday you'll ride with me at a ZCON and see) does not control the car's weight well.

For the rear, light inner fender modification and some lower control arm modification (with thinner diameter springs/coilovers) allow me to run the wheel.

But other major factors include camber and toe, and overall tire diameter/ride height.

On the front, tire diameter is very important along with camber angles to fit the wheel under the fender (assuming you are able to use the camber).

Cheers,

Salah
