Default suspension? street/track coilover

I am currently running a Koni yellow w/Ground Control 375f 325r springs. I am looking for a more track worthy setup and wanted some opinions. One option was to get the Advance Design dampers and just change the spring rates to a more track suitable rate. I can get them custom valved for $250 each or double adjustable for $399 each. Or, go with something like the JIC FLT-A2, Cusco Zero2's, Tein RA, ect. I'm not concerned with "brand", just the best performance and flexibility for the dollar.

koni's revavled and shortened - IMO you have some of the best shocks money can buy dont get rid of them

better spring rates ---------front 350 - rear at least 600 or something around there

we need to talk about your car , I have someone who KNOWS how to build a race car maybe you guys should come down and check it .........

I've heard nothing but good things about the Advanced Design shocks.

revalve the Konis since you have them already. And bump up the rates to ~400F and ~600R (or higher if the car is track only).

correct , but he has koni's now

why not revalve/rebuild and upgrade the springs for half the cost of the AD units

what do you guys think a reasonable rate for a car that will be mostly daily driven with maybe 6 autox's and 2-3 track events a year? I don't want the rear to be unpredictable on the street,but I want to go stiffer all around and especially in the rear.

is unpredictable , tail happy ?

what shocks ? that will have a large impact on what rates you can run

koni's are about the best shocks you can buy and handle around 500 off the shelf

something around 350f/500-600r would be a nice streetable set-up with a 22mm rear sway your car would be very neutral with throttle lift oversteer if pushed

it really depends on a few things ......... send me an Im and I can help you pick out something nicey nice
