I've searched a lot & found people running all sorts of different combinations. I've been wondering how to choose the amount of difference between front/rear. Also, how do I decide if I want it front heavy or rear heavy? I'm sure this has been covered but searching only came up with stuff like "what's rates should I get".

Thanks,

A lot will depend on the car and what it'll be used for. Beyond that, there are a ton of different ways to reach the same handling balance but with pretty disparate rate splits.

 

It's a DC2 GSR with 24mm/22mm sways, 200lbs lighter, & it'll be used for back road street driving (mountain passes and such) & track duty. Not a daily driver at all. I'm not sure of the exact weight but I've removed roughly 200lbs. I've driven an EK coupe with 450/400 on yellows with 22mm/14mm sways & it's not bad but it has worn out tires so I didn't wanna push it. He's putting RE11's on it so I'll drive it then & see how I like it.

 

My 94 Accord set up for road racing has 800f/1000r. Many crx's I know of run 600f/800r.

The higher rear rates help balance out the push.

 

Soon we shall see what it does
