    What G/C spring rate do you recommend for the 323 gt

    What spring rate do you recommend for Ground Control coilover kit for the 323 gt? This is my daily driver & weekend racer

    Depends how much abuse you are willing to take on the street and how far you drive it daily... I had 275front/325rear on my protege5 and it wasn't bad when doing short trips or the occasional long trip. I drove over 1000km a week at the time though... by the end of the summer my back couldn't handle it anymore.

                The car should be pretty neutral with 250 front and 300 rear. If you want it to rotate at low speed (like autocross) you'd want at least 325 in the rear.

                  I have 400front and 350rear.
                  Tokico struts at the moment and 215/35/17 tires.
                  I didint have any understeer with my JDM BP.
                  Camber etc must be set up right not to have understeer. I let my friends rally team to adjust things right and it worked great.
                  But all my friends say that 400/350 is way too stiff for our roads. But i like to drive fast and i like it this way.

                    On a DD
                    low 200 front
                    high 200 rear.

                    over 300 springs in the rear gets old quick.

                    Using Linux for anything serious besides server or software dev is like using a tin can and a string for telecommunications.
