your not going to be road racing a DD car, you might do DE with it though.


I'd go with the OTS rates GC suggests, i don't think you would need anything more then that.

Off the shelf. It's what most people should get for a first setup.

The spring rates are different for every application. GC tunes them for each chassis and even will change them if you've done a motor swap. Best bet, give them a call and tell them your setup and they'll fix you up!
