Icon6 Spring Rates

I am currently of thinking about getting Koni Coilovers and am just curious to know what spring rates you guys are running. Since I mainly drive my car around town to school or work. I sometimes go out to the track for some quarter mile racing. Will post pics of car once I get suspension.

If its an EP3 just make sure the rear spring rates are higher or at least double the ones in the front!

Also search around you'll find a lot of info!

there are very different spring rates for drag racing and road racing. stiff fronts will cause you to wheel hop. loose fronts will be bad in road racing.

if you like one more than the other, then you should decide on that. if not, yo ucan get something that is good at all, but not great at a specific one.
