    well i have been playing around with spring rates & think i have found the right rate for street use - typically "aftermarket" ones seem to be around double factory, one car i have in here has springs about the size of the ones i had (fighterex setup- $$$!) & customer tells me it is a bit difficult to drive in the wet!

    i don't find it too bad in the wet, just if I go round a corner, even slow i have to be ready to catch the rear, she will always hook out, without fail, that could also be due to tyre choice though
