KW v3 track set up?

GSS138

That's almost my exact setup, cept I have 12k rear, and 10 k front. I am thinking though of swapping the springs around. Is the Eibach front stiffer than the stillen? I have stillen full stiff front full soft rear. I would say the front is still a bit soft with the stillen and 10K springs.

I have Fortune Auto and running 12k front and 10k rear. The front still isn't stiff enough I was bottoming out at AMP in turn 11. I am only lowered as much as the drop Swift springs would provide.

Good to hear. My opinion of 12k Rear is that it is a pretty good rate for the rear, but is maybe a tad on the stiff side. I was having the rear starting to brake loose at chuckwalla which has a lot of high speed sweepers. It wasn't anything too crazy, but it started to skate-was actually kind of fun but not ideal.

I really like the way 12k rear feels in terms of grip and controllability, but I am also wishing I had a wing to keep it planted. I had thought about swapping from 10/12 to 12/10, but I am thinking that more like 15/12 is what I am going to do. My guess is that I might have the same problem in the front once I do that and then require some downforce up there as well.

I would say that overall 10/12 is not a bad setup and is a pretty good stepping stone. However it's not really great either. Front is still to rolly polly, and the rear is actually really darn good, but yeah needs aero to tame it a bit on the high speed stuff.

Without the added downforce I think 10k is good in the rear, at least for me. I am thinking of going up to 14k in the front and see how that works. I do not have to revalve if I only change the spring rate by 2K+/-. I am more of a beginner in this track setup so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I can only comment on how my setup is performing. I am sure you are way faster than I am with more experience in this arena.

Yes the Eibach front is much stiffer than the Stillen, which is what I before the Eibach. However I want to try even stiffer in the front so I'm considering the Progress front bar next, and/or go up to 14k front springs. I would like to also try the Hotchkis but it is barely stiffer than the Progress and you have to buy the worthless rear.
