OK well I have found the answers. Thanks Reg.

The factory race springs (Mine which are RED) were rated at:

600 lbs. on the front
1000 lbs. on the rear

BDR found that the supplier of these factory springs was not very accurate on their spring rates and BDR have now switched to using Eibach springs on their race cars.

Seems the current race springs tech is:

450 lbs in the front
800 lbs in the rear. (Which would marry up to what you're saying above Cashy.)

We can now put this rest.... Matt
