are progressive rate rear springs bad for autocross?
the search doesn't seem to be working too well at the moment. i've been going around in circles trying to decide what suspension setup to get. the neuspeed koni sports seem like a good shock, and combined with the Comptech Springs, I can use one of the lower perches (5mm increments I'm told) to get the front to sit a little lower.
but the Comptech springs, similar to the Eibach Pro-Kit, have a progressive rate rear spring (124-194 i believe). will this be a problem for autocross? will the ability to stiffen the rebound of the Konis, and adding a 22mm rear swaybar be good enough? i don't plan to do any track events that would require extremely stiff rear spring rates. this car will also double as an "every-other day driver".
would i be better off with H&R sport springs which are more linear? H&R says they are 30% stiffer than stock, which means the front is less than the Comptech and the rear is closer to the stiff end of the progressive Comptech.
or should i just get the non-adjustable H&R coilovers with 380/265 spring rates and dampers to match?
thanks,
phil

Go Ground Control and Koni Yellow
Height Adjustable, Damping Adjustable, and you can get whatever rates you want at any time.
400f/300r would be a good place to start.
