looks like theyre height adjustable, without giving up shock travel. they LOOK bad-***. if it were me, and i had the lute, i'd do it in a heartbeat. also, whats 6k translate to in "standard" spring rates? (lb/in) where are these available?

k, just searched google and found: http://www.infinitracing.com/A....html

the rates are a bit extreme, but for racing these things would kick ***! also, theyre listed at $700!!

isnt 600f 900r great for drag but for track will be unbalanced? the rear will be to stiff and will throw of the front ... which will oversteer?

ACTUALLY,
it says 6k on the spring, which would lead me to believe he meant 6kfront and 9k rear

which(correct me if i'm wrong) translates to
336lb front and 504lb rear

a bit of an odd setup.. i'd actually probably swap the springs around,
due to the front weight bias of our cars.. personally i really wouldnt want anything less than 400 up front.

higher spring rates in the rear are normal for track setups

We have springs that could be used with those shocks in a ton of different rates.

those spring rates are NOT in pounds....whoever did the web site is mistaken.

Look on the spring itself....it says "6kg".....not lbs, but killigrams

sill, those rates are a typical JDM coilover setup

its not that hard to change out the springs...i dont see the big deal over the spring rates since they are easily changeable.
