I,ve got a 98 Clubsport (chassis 27) which is in the final stages of winter rebuild. Does anyone have advise on front & rear spring rates? The current ones are 7" long and marked 300 Lbs. (fronts) rear's are unmarked but approx 8" long. Have asked Radical who uses what they have'nt replied (too busy making Cars & money!!).

Standard is 250 front, 400 rear. Here's the setup I run (or rather ran, as I'm getting an SR4 for this year):

Standard springs
Shockers: 7 front, 10 rear
ARBs: Medium front, No rear

Did you ease the dampers off when running wets?

In the wet, take all ARB's off, and wind the dampers down to zero.

[Thanks for the Info, I am interested in the fact my car has one coil longer rear springs than front, was this the same on yours?/quote]

Dunno, I'm afraid.
