Default would like some opinions

well im running the ksport setup on my crx, and the spring rates arent great wich leads me to belive why i am not all that great in my 60' area

so new setup will be tuned at 600, and probly be ran mostly at 550 so i was thinking 10k front 8k rear what do you guys think would be the best spring rates to put on my ksports to the best possible 60'

6k rear? that is way to soft of a spring for what you are doing, I run a 18k spring in the rear and 12k up front.

I dont think changing your rears from 6k to 8k is going to do anything...

Is this a track only car or do you drive on the street frequently as well? If track only go to 16k or 18k...that will help your car from squatting on the line.
