Coilover springrates front(without torsionbars)

As the topic says, I need advice about front springrates on my 75. The car has a full rollcage and will be used for racing. Rear springs are from RSR and rated 70kg.

Thanks Barry. The engine is built for racing with lots of modifications so the daily driving concerns are really no problem....
We are now about to make the rear flywheel in a lighter material also.

We will be testing it on street engines with stock Ecu soon. This one will be used on a race engine.


Hope to get some feedbacks from people who has tried this before.
If the results are good we may concider making some more alu flywheels.

Hmm, large wheels you have got there. Mine is a 75, but it is the same frame construction and suspension.
Height is 23,2" both front and rear, quite low but fine for track days.

I could not figure out why the advance was redused during high rpm... Mine peaks 27deg at 4500 and holds it out to the rev limiter at 7300.
