So I am just begining to see why people always sa race cars are never done. I just ran my first autocross on track tires (Nitto NT-01s) and now my previously perfect handeling car lifts front wheels way into the air. Corner workers were saying as high as six inches!!! Now I am NO expert but this leads me to believe that there is still a considerable amount of time to be had if I can keep the wheels on or alot nearer to the ground. My question is how stiff to go in the rears. I currently have #140 Weltmeisters on the back and stock front torshens with a H&H 19mm ajustable front sway bar set one hole from soft leaving two stiffer settings (four holes total). I am thinking #175 or #200 2.5inch springs on ajustable perches. Any suggestions? Will ajusting the front bar to full stiff be enough to counteract springs this stiff? This is for a strictly autocross car that only gets driven to events and on the occassional sunny day. Also it has a six pt. cage.
Any input will be appriciated since I would only like to buy one more set of springs. Attached File(s) ![]() ![]() |

The braking distance and speeds stated are just my estimates. Between being on the edge of out of control and having a speedo that reads 8-10mph fast I dont really know how much speed I was shedding in how many feet. I seriously doubt that the car will break at 1.5G though. You can make your own guesses as to what 5500 in 4th to 3800 in 3rd is. Besides sticky tires it is fairly stock. Maby 50 pounds under weight, no carpet, back pad, floor tar, sound deadening, radio and related components but a very heavy 6pt cage.
