the coils / springs fitted to my Ginetta G4/S4 are too hard for road-use. (i pressume it was setup originally for tracks).

anybody can tell me a spring-rate which would be ok for road use?

ford banjo live axle, 4 link, spax-dampers (non-height adjustable).

front-suspension same...too hard.

which springs can i use there? my front are the spitfire-type.

unfortunately there is nothing imprinted or stamped onto my springs, nor are they the original ones.

and i do not have any companies around where springs can be "measured" on their load.

found an overview of technical datas from another ginetta owner in the history of my car. he fitted 150lbs on rear, 250 on front.

for the rear i can get differnt rates very easy, but front ones are spitfire shocks and i gues i cant use spitfire springs?
