My car runs a 358ci so has to weigh 2390lbs with me in it, we normally run around 2450lbs to allow for fuel burn off, alcohol in our case. The car has 54-55% rear, what front coil rates would you advise? I should mention our engines have ally heads. Our tracks are mainly stop and go, flat, narrow 1/4 miles. Thanks.
