whats the best compromise for a road car that may do a few track days,im going for gaz golds and you can get any spring with them when ordering new.ta,lee

 

Can they not advise you?

 

yeah,i just thought id ask here 1st to see what others were using,to compare to what they advise.,im buying them from woodford garage and their advice is pretty good.

 

You're best going with the seller matey, or get them from rainbummer instead as he has worked out what springs work well with those shocks

 

Im running 650lbs fronts and 400lbs rears, really good on track but bad on the road due to the crap roads we have!!

 

I run 500 front and 250 rear on my race car.

I think we had a thread the other day where we reckoned 300 front and 200 rear would be good for a road car. Of course, if you don't like it you can change in 10 mins and sell the old ones on Ebay.

On AVO's I run 300lb 9" front, and 200lb 12" rear, but find the rear is too soft so going to 250lb rear.

I've got 350 fronts and 180 rears.

 

My gas golds have 350 front which are a bit hard for my liking and had 275 on the back but changed to 225 and are much better. I'd prefer a little softer all round if I'm honest for the shitty roads where I live

 

I have red fronts and red rears

 

gaz have came back and recommended 400lbs front and 250lbs rear,the guy used to work for leda competition springs.does this sound ok for a road car?

 

On the stiff side but should be OK. It's so personal I think. What do you like and what is your car like now?

the car was on similar rates,think the rears were 500 rear and 250 front,only drove it 5 miles and felt ok,as soon as i bought it i stripped it so didnt get used to it.
my last saph was on cheap gaz coilovers and didnt feel too bad but i hardly used that either.

 

Mine are (off memory) 325 front and 175 rear....and IMHO the rear is too soft

 

Just go for my racecar set up: 500 front, 250 rear. At least you'll know it'll work for you at Brands

Try having a chat with Martin of reyland motorsport as he seems pretty genned up on things like that, if it mainly for on the road have you considered koni/ahmed set up and a 6 degree rear beam.
