Jack,
We always start with 350 lb. springs up front. With a CR's Cobra with the set back of the motor and the longer wheel base, (for street use) gives a very good ride with exceptional street handeling. If we do the full "tweak" on the front suspension and use a non-SVO BB then we will mormally start in the 450 to 550 range, then adjust to fit the owner and his driving techniques and dislikes or likes.
The DV II is presently using 500 lb. front springs.
Dave is so right on his statement,
"Surely not one of these components, springs,shocks, chassis attributes, tire type and air pressure,wheel alignment,etc can be taken in isolation.
A twitch on one of these components affects every other and must be considered together."
It really isn't that hard to do fella's. If you get track time, it is easy to determine what works and what doesn't. If it's a 90% cruiser then simply adjust until you like the ride and feel.
It's only money!
