yeah yeah, I will get you on the straights ! MD his car has no torsion bars. I was guestimating about 130kg/cm upfront and 50kg rear.
My ''lumpy'' v6 has 180kg total per point(front) inc torsion bars with 65kg rear and its now perfect.
Im not sure the difference in weight from the V6 to 4's.

Frosty, stick with the values I sent you and remember they are spring rates as opposed to wheel rates.
Kevin, if it works, don't fix it.

Frosty,

This is probably one of the hard calls. If you have no background in auto electrics/electronics my advice would be to get some quotes for a minimalist loom from a tradesman and save up for the job to be done by them.

It's very easy to damage the engine and components least of all the ECU if you get the wiring wrong.
