I'm really not looking forward to having to argue with you, thadya, vince, red, opher, etc. on what spring rates to get. That should be an event, lol

i think just one spring rate across, you need an anti squat for drag, but something stiffer upfront to combat most body roll for circuit :thumbs up a 12k should be fine.

I'll have to research with Thadya next weekend and see where I should be

It's hard for you because you do both drag and road racing. Both are completely different in terms of suspension setup/spring rates.

Agreed. But it's still possible to find something that's acceptable for both.

I don't want to gear my suspension with drag racing in mind, as long as I can run slicks and not rub on them, I'm fine. I'll do well there either way. Circuit is where I'm having a difficult time and also my preferred form of racing, so I would rather work on only that and just deal with it on the 1320

Updated OP, got new pads, rotors, lines, and fluid installed last night; now I'm getting a valve adjustment and oil change. Locked and loaded for this weekend, breh

Few things here:

1. If you are removing the power steering do it correctly, just pick up a manual rack and subframe from an EG (thats what I used on mine). Dylan is right, over time the rack will dry up and you will have bigger issues.

2. What size slicks are those on that car? If they are anything bigger then a 23" they will hurt you more then help you with your current power levels. What rpm do you rev out to?

3. Pump those rears up to 50psi ;)

4. Atleast 500in/lbs in rear and 350 in/lb in the front for suspension. Its a nice happy balance considering you do both drag and road course. Raise the rear of the car up more then the front to avoid the rear squating and to help keep the front planted via weight transfer.

I plan on doing it right next week, I just wanted to try for now, so I highly doubt I'll have an issue with it in the next week or two. N the slicks are 23" I think, I have to check, but they're knowledgeable people, so if they say to run it, it's gonna be the right size, lol. I still rev to 8k with my stock motor.
For the tires, I'll be running the skinnies in the rear, so all good there! And with suspension, it will be totally geared for road racing, I only run 1320 for fun and to keep my skills up a bit on launching
