Some folks want it even firmer than offered by Ohlins, turns out the guys at Performance Technic (Fremont) actually went with stiffer springs rates on their 'shop car' but that is because it is really set up for track use... Yesterday I spoke with the folks over at Griffin Motorwerke (got a Fabspeed Sport Cat installed yesterday...holy shit that was an awesome bump in power and sound)in Berkeley; they have a ton of tuning experience and they also thought the spring rates on the Ohlins R&T are set more for track duty. So next I am heading up to Sears Point/Infineon Raceway to talk to some suspension guys up there who come highly recommended...I really enjoy doing the research on projects like this,...kinda the measure twice, cut once philosophy.

Thanks for the feedback! I've also talked with Harold at HP Autosport the other day and ended up ordering a set. 458/80NM front
896/160'ish (swift springs) Rear. Basically one step lighter on the coils from the stock R & T's. Looks like they're shipping today so hope to get them installed in the coming weeks.
