I'm running an LS and had 550 springs, after upgrading to Ridtech coilovers I went with 500 springs, my car weighs 3300 lbs and I like the combo. I have noticed the lighter spring is better at the autocross, and the road course has not changed. I would talk with DSE and find out what Stacy is using in her car, she is very fast in both events.

I've talked to Kyle and I'm 95% sure he said they run the 450's in both cars. You are adding weight in comparison, but how much?

I agree. DSE puts their cars thru alot of miles. They would offer some sound proven advice.

spoke to sal @ american muscle cars and told me if I was not happy with the 450s that he would exchange them at no additional $$$.
thats good enough for me.
