          Depending on car weight is how you determine lr spring as a general rule of thumb spring on swing arm cuts rate nearly in half because of motion ratio there is a formula on the dirt forums tool box if you can get it to work. One thing about this set up forget everything about your old way of doing things as it will be ass backwards from everything you do now. And yes you will need little to no bite and possible dewedge we run 50 to100 pounds rr w/o driver the more rr we put in the car gets better I would start with 50 pounds w/o driver and then put him in it and see where you are. If it works like our car it will have so much forward bite you will be looking for ways to unhook the car.
