Track Day Report - 6 Speed, Headlights, Suspension Bottoming

[Sgt.Gator]

Dave, what are your spring rates? I just went thru a process of of measuring and running my car thru a suspension calculator. I now have Front 900lbs, Rear 700lbs.
If you want to test different rates I have lots of springs now, I OD'd a bit on ordering a range of them. PM if you want me to ship you some.

Sgt.Garot,I somehow missed you reply until now.

Thanks for the offer to try different springs! I may take you up on that once I come up with a plan.

I have the 818S setup. 350# front, 275# rear, yellow shocks.

A few question....

If I start messing with springs, at what point are the yellow shocks no longer appropriate? When would I try the reds or something else?

Just got a quote from FFR for 818R "Koni shock sets" which I believe is 500#, 300#, red shocks. $1,275 delivered.

What makes a FFR sourced Koni red shock a FFR 818R shock? Are there other shocks worth considering?

I guess I'm looking for specific feedback on how to proceed.

Hope to be out at Thunderhill West again Saturday. I plan on keeping better notes on where I'm bottoming the car out.
