spring rate recommendations???
i have a gd3 and have a stock spring set up with t1r front sway bar and progress rsb. im going to purchase the t1r coilover kit but was wondering what spring rates front and rear everyone was running??? i want to get a more aggressive rate than 6k front and rear but im not sure if the car will understeer or oversteer with the coilover kit. just wondering what everyone has.

Part of it is the spring rate, but you have to look at the shocks as well. The dampening helps lessen under and oversteer. But from what I've heard you will get a little bit more understeer. Also with a more agressive spring rate your looking at a stiffer ride.

8k front with 10k rear with some fairly aggressive alignment, softest damper setting front, with max stiff rear is what i have
it is a little too tight for me in the dry (still too scary neutral for most)
most people will need a softer rear spring than the front when using the rsb
i would put on a 6k front and rear 10k for a good all around (scary neutral) road and track
10k front, 14k rear for glass smooth tracks
if u dont care about comfort and tire wear, using those sway bars i'd go for the megan coils...if u can handle them (they come with 8k front, 10k rear) and an aggressive alignment, nice and simple
