Looking at ordering new STaSIS TrackSport Suspension. Which spring rates should i go with?
600#F/900#R, 650#F/900#R, 700#F/1000#R or lastly 750#F/1100#R?
Any input is appreciated. Car is daily driver and going to see some auto-x and hopefully more track days/ HDPE's..

they only lasted 9 months/4000 miles before i took them off
terrible street ride quality, they were ok the track...much more of a track setup than street that was with low spring rates. You don't want that much spring with these shocks. Get a ride in a TS equipt car before you buy...decide for yourself, that's my advice

If you're only doing some auto-x and very limited track days
I'm not sure I'd go with the tracksports at all. Probably overkill for your needs. If you're set on tme, I'd go with the softest spring rates for a better ride...

I have 700/800 and really like it, not my daily driver, but you could use it as one, just would ..
have to learn to bumps/potholes on the roads you drive. The ride quality has more to do with the dampers than the spring rates. Stasis has the best, therefore your ride with 600/900 will be much better than other kits with a softer spring rate. Id be happy to let you take her for a spin.
My advise would be the 650/900

it's all personal preference, i thought, for 600/700 lb springs, the TS's felt couldn't handle
the spring effectively. It was either too stiff or too soft, both of which result in a crappy ride. And don't give me the whole "you didn't have them setup right" talk, i spend may weekends adjusting those things only to be disappointed again and again.
Try something else and you'll be singing a new song...TS's are not worth 2k.
Bang for the buck, Vogtlands or pss9's.

I guess it is all personal preference, I drove a car with vog's & prefer my setup by a long shot
havent had any experience with pss9's. I think the TS's are a bargain at the sale price. What setup are you running?
