I'm back to talk about spring rates.

The standard 12k front is enough on the rear you need to consider wheel rate as part of your consideration from moving from a divorced setup. You should in that

The standard 12k front is enough on the rear you need to consider wheel rate as part of your consideration from moving from a divorced setup. You should in that 5 to 7k zone.

I wouldn’t worry about 12k front, I’ve been on 12/11 (OEM style) and it’s been fine on street, in fact if anything the rear is a bit firmer feeling than front (maybe wanted 10 but wasn’t an option). Odd that fortune would recommend you 11/8 true type as they used to spec 10/8 OEM type when I was looking at them. Which is one of the reasons I didn’t go that route since I did want to do some track and it just didn’t make sense to me that I would jump up two rates in front and keep the rear same as oem spec (8/8). You definitely do not use the same rates true type as you would oem type so I would be questioning that recommendation, seems most true with street setup are somewhere around a 12-13 front with a 6-7 rear.
