How do you know what the perfect spring rate is for a car? How do you know if the car is under or over springed?

Here's an example. My TA has 1LE front springs and stock rear springs with Strano revalves on the front and 3rd gen Koni's. On street tires it was turning times 2.5 seconds slower than a C4 Vette with electronically controlled Bilsteins on R compounds. His best run was 40.something and my car turned a 42.5. My car is less than an ideal setup since it has hardly any negative camber and a stock ride height(we were running 44 PSI cold in the front).
I'm reading of guys who AX Miatas who are claiming that stock springed cars are turning better times than cars with $1500 coilovers. This post has been edited by wannafbody: Jul 18 2009, 04:13 PM |
