First question I have the box standard Gaz shock absorbers with standard springs.What spring rates do i have and what would be a good compromise for fast road and the occasional track day.i don`t want to spend anymore money (nitrons)just keep what i have.Would 400/325lb be a good choice.

Daz

I forget the standard setup but if you speak to Pro-Tech ask for standard plus 20%.

This is a good setting for occasional TiD's yet still remain compliant for the road.

You should get a set for £100.
