Default BDR Spring Rates - Stock and Race

Thanks Kobura...

I'm trying to autocross and the stock spring rates are too soft. I've been told when I am on the throttle hard the back end squats pretty low. But, I drive the car quite a bit on the road.

From what I have been able to gather, the stock front springs are 215 lbs, and the front race springs are 450 lbs.

I haven't been able to gather the same info on the rears.

Also, I've heard/read that the race springs could be too harsh for street driving. Well, at least for my preference. So, I want something in between. I'm probably going to try 300 or 350 in the front. Now, I just need to figure out the rear.

The "in between" springs from Backdraft aren't yet available, so I'm starting to research other springs. Right now, my best option is to pull the existing springs and see what will fit.

Thanks again.
