    LF - 1000 RF - 1000
    LR - 225 RR - 200

    On this small of a track, this is a little softer on the RF but you might need it to get the car to roll over.

      I personally would put lf, 950 rf 900 and 200 across the rear, a little split for getting off the gas to help the turn in and not loose so much side bite on the RR and 200 in the rear for off the corner transfer to the rear wheels. Traction is king in the bull ring.

          http://www.hypercoils.com/spring-rate-calculator/ Check this out. Somebody fast should plug in their numbers for me and let me know if they come out close to the setup you are running. Anyone know the measurements of a lower metric control arm that they ask for?
