Thanks in part to Mitch (BIG part), I now have a set of
LG Super Spring. These things are hard to come by and Mitch led me to the guys post the same day.......and now the deal is done - sitting in the garage.
Can't wait to get them on; needing more spring rate up front.

Thanks again Mitch (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

Guys,

How are the LG Super springs for a car whose main purpose is autocrossing?

From everything I've read here, the rear rates seem a little too stiff... But, since LG is selling them right now, I thought I'd ask: Is it possible to run the LG spring set with the stock Z28 rear bar, instead of using a lower rate rear spring, such as is found in the GC coil over kit, and a larger rear bar.

It seems like, despite the fact that they're cheaper, the LG springs limit a person's options for tuning their rear suspension. Wheras the GC kit has numerous options for changing rear spring rates and with its lower starting spring rate, 150 as sold by Sam, it's also possible to add a bigger rear sway bar as another means of tuning the setup.

Just curious.

Right now my setup is a 35MM strano bar, stock springs and Koni SAs in front and stock springs/bar and Bilstein 3rd gens in rear. (T2R diff also on the way.)

Thanks,

-John
