My car weighs 2278 pounds and I use 23mm t-bars in the front and 300# springs in the rear with Koni Sport shocks all around. I use slightly heavier springs since my car uses slicks and gets more grip than a car with v700s or something similar. I had to go with the rear 300# springs since the car was lifting the front wheel easily even with a roll cage in the car and they keep it flat. This works well for most of the tracks I race at in So Cal area such as Willow Springs and CA Speedway which are flat and smooth. At PIR in Az the car was a little too stiff and wanted to push some in the corners so I couldn't go flat out like the softer sprung cars could. What do the east coast guys run??? Good luck
