    soft as fawk! 6k front/4k rear. i wanted 8k/6k but they didnt have them in stock and i would have them for another 2 months and the car is undriveable right now cause the shocks BLOWN, you cant even drive it its so bad.

    i guess its not so bad cause the car will only see lil tally maybe once or twice a year. i want give it shot since i have never done road racing but its not my main focus for the car. the car will NEED brakes soon so that is next and sway bars are on the list for sometime this summer.

    im a noob to road racing but i want to atleast try it, it looks fun

    And I thought I had and aggressive set-up on my race car (1,000F/1,100R)
    6,000lbs soft?!?!?! one of those coils is rated to support 2 Neons.......

    Did you mean 600lbs front & 400 rear?

    many people that track these cars have told me that this is a great compromise between daily driving and road course racing once or twice a year. i did my research and talked to people that have raced SRT4's at the track for years and this was what was recommended by them

    WhatTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?

    So you are saying that they are measuring weight with distance?????

    So if our car is 11,600sqin we have 8 kilograms per sqin (assuming we are talking about square inches) = 92,800 Kilograms

    or is it like this, the coil is X long (measure in inches) and then you multiply by 8 kilograms (the rating of the coil) ???

    So, from the pictures I can tell the coil it's a 5 to 6in long, the we multiply it by 8 kilograms = 48 kilograms witch it will make it a low rider neon

    Could you elaborate on your comment????
