I'm looking to enter the world of coilovers soon and I need some advice on spring rates.
I'm currently on BMR springs with Ford Track shocks which are 250 lbs front and 980 lbs rear. I enjoy this setup a lot but it is still quite soft for track use.
I haven't quite decided on which coilover brand to go with but almost all of them offer custom spring rates. My only baseline is what Vorshlag offers. For their Ohlins kit, it's 500# front and 800# rear in the divorced location or their MCS spring packages (450F/550R, 600F/750R, 800F/1100R).
At the start, I'd be without aero but the plan is to add some down the road (9Lives wing and balanced DIY front splitter). I was thinking something around the Ohlins rates would be a good starting point (500/800) but it has me confused. If my current rates are 250/980 and this stiffer setup is 500/800, that would be double the rate in the front but softer in the rear....wouldn't I want stiffer in the rear as well?
