Default function & form type II Q's

I heard that they're a good street coilover, but not for track.

and where did you hear 10/6 rates were not good for the track? maybe full race cars, then yes.

10/6 rates are great for the occassional road race/hpde's and daily driving. 10/6 rates are pretty stiff in a small lightweight car for dd if you ask me. If your full track, then custom rates in the 12k range is what you probably want, but i cant say that for everyone, each person has a different driving style.
