I did some searching figuring this has been covered before. Found a few random rates listed here and there, but I would prefer to have some more input before making this purchase.
I've currently have GC coils/Bilstein Race (Neuspeed valving) on my Mk2 GLI, with 430F/350R springs. Paired with the Bilsteins and the fact that the Mk2 is lighter than an E30, it is quite stiff! I drove it daily like that for 2 years, so I'm used to a rather stiff car.
Now, I'm looking to buy the complete E30 street coilover setup from GC. http://www.ground-control-store.com/...hp/II=540/CA=8 I just want some suggestions on rates.
The E30 will be my daily driver for the foreseeable future and I drive one hour each way to work and the roads are PA roads. Enough said.
At the same time, I've been getting more serious about autocrossing and although I'm not out to win every time, I want the car to be up to the task.
The car has stock sways for now. So I figure to base the spring rates around that.
The GC kit does include front camber plates and rear shock mounts, so that's something I need to keep in mind. No rubber mounts any longer.
What do you guys think? Thanks.
