Autocross: I got madd questions for you guys!, Info needed for the crowd that autocrosses Options

Im starting to collect my suspension for an STS Celica. I will be running my Celica in STS[N] for the winter season [3 different series] Being in STS isn't as easy as GSN was.. haha. Right now my stock springs are getting worn [stupid quick]; I will need a replacement as soon as I get the money [haha] For the autoX fellas out there.. what would you recommend???

Some might read this and not get it.. heres an example

Front XX kg
Rear XX kg


--------------------
The only other car I can really base it on are the AE92 Crowd.. although they're lighter [300 I think..] and are more rev happy [Damn their stock 4AGE..] suspension is probably closely related [setup wise]


THANKS!

tein:

front: 7
rear: 5

trd:

front: 8
rear: 6

Where'd you get these numbers? Those are awfully stiff spring rates...

tein S-techs are roughly 3.2kg/mm fronts and about 2kg/mm rears

I forget TRD's (eibach's) specs... but most of the street kits available aren't that firm... typicall less than 4kg/mm. Springs as firm as 6-8kg/mm usually run about 200.00+ a pair.

sorry forgot my works cited part for my post.

these are spring rates for damper kits
