I'm back to talk about spring rates.

11k in the front seems rather low for a car that will see a little track duty. This notion that stiff springs kills ride quality is just because people have dampers that aren't properly valved for the spring rate. You'd be surprised how stiff you can go and still be comfortable when you have well valved dampers.

stiff springs dont kill ride quality as much as bad dampers

14k/10k here on Aragostas and the ride is just as good as stock

I was curious about the Aragostas before, didn’t realize you had them and live in Sacramento. Maybe I’ll have to try to get a ride sometime in summer on my way to Tahoe if your up for it.
