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)
