GC Spring Rate Opinions?

[jtb_29]

I DD 525/750 and I don't think it's too bad for the street. You'll get used to it.

Replace the rubber front strut mounts with some solid camber plates too ;) I don't know, I mean I daily it but it sucks when the roads aren't perfect.

I am buying a second set of springs to switch between autox seasons.

So with a 19mm rear bar that would probably feel similar with 600 or 650 rear springs...?

I'm running the C3 coilovers with 450/750 spring rates with a cabrio front swaybar and no rear swaybar. It does just fine on the street, and I couldn't have been more pleased at the track when I went last April.

This is on a car with TMS solid subframe mounts, M3 Cabs and ST sway bars for whatever that's worth.

GC recomended 440/600 but I'm thinking that might be a little conservative...

oh cmon! 500/650 is perfectly fine for street. i used to DD my 91 rx7 9k/7k coilovers and all poly bushings. its not a big deal, you get used to it...price you pay to setup your car for what you want

500/650, good for autox, not so good for a daily.

I have some GC Coilovers that are set up for bilsteins (350/500) but I'm thinking of biting the bullet and just going the full monty and getting shocks and springs from GC directly. What spring rates do you guys use and for what type of driving?

Thanks!
