    How hard are you willing to go?

    While coil-overs are great on track there not so good on road.

    Different spring rates will give you different levels of stiffness.

    There are other factors and options
    -Damper rates
    -Hight
    -Adjustable hight
    -Fixed damper with adjustable dampening
    -Budget

    To do it properly its not a simple task. What exactly do you plan to use the car for.
    -The odd trackday
    -Track only
    -Sunday car
    -Daily driver

    Sorry there is allot to getting a set-up right.

    Thanks for the reply and I real appriciate your input!!

    It will be a daily driver over the Leitrim roads. Want good road handling though since I like my bends.

    I only drive on the road and no track days.
