How high do you think you could go in a streetable car before it starts to break my back? I don't do that many highway miles in general, but need to be able to drive a few hundred to the track.

for this car, I'd guess prob 14/12 or thereabouts... 12/10 was fine on the street for me... 18/16 would be pushing it, I think... btw, as you may know, what matters is "effective wheel spring rate"... wheel rate is determined by the geometry of the suspension and the spring rate... so, if you get input from other car types, their feedback may not apply
