I wouldn't go any heavier on a similar street car!

If you put good information into the spring rate calculator TRUST THE RESULTS. We spent a lot of time making sure it worked correctly (how many other manufacturers provide this?) We use it all the time, and it's typically dead on, especially now that it lets the customer choose his/her use of the vehicle.

Your calculator is great. It is a dead on match to the one I created a few years ago when I was choosing spring rates.

To the OP,
Knowing your corner weights will make the calculator more accurate.

style front suspension with LS1 on 69 Camaro 550 lbs front

Jake's TA on rear with Sphon bushings 325 lbs rear (no sway bar)

For road course 700/500

Shocks need to be valved correctly to handle the higher rate.

Brian Finch rode/coached me on an auto cross run. Said I had the smooth thing down but needed to be more agressive. My simple brain took that and translated it too "you drive like a Pu$$y" LOL

Did you ever try a higher rate on the back of yours?

You do not have a high enough security clearance for such information
