Default Who has Stasis MotorSports and what are your Spring Rates ????
I got the 800/1000 in the car and they seem to be to stiff for me. mosty the rears. I have not played with the adjustments yet. The spring rates just seem way to high for me. Stasis recommended 700/800's for the street.

I live in Northern California and the road are just OK.

Any advise would be helpful.

Default I'm running 700/900. Excellent handling
Suspension opinion is quite subjective, but FWIW I wouldn't change my set-up.

Default I'm very happy with my 700/800 setup...
Thinking about trying 750/850 or 800/850 in the summer, but more for experimentation than anything else.

Default That is the setup stasis suggested...Why would you want to try something else???
Curious since you are very happy.

How would you describe the ride?

Handling?
Harshness?

Default Hard will offer more stability, but could reduce vehicle grip,
Does a 700/900 set up tend to skip across rooad imperfections (reducing traction)??

Default I agree with Bones...
the ride is so compliant that a higher spring rate is totally acceptable in the quest for less chassis lean.

I wish I had big enough ***** to ditch my tracksports for Ohlins. Truly incredible. I'd go euro tuning...ditch the anti-sway bars and up the spring rates.

Default oh is this the new marin 996TT? . . . I hear I'll be seeing your car soon . . . ?
I helped setup that car @ the STaSIS barn back when STaSIS was a barn.

Looking forward to checking her out . . .

I think I have pics of us setting the car up for some event with some Koni 3012's or something . . .
