I dunno much about those tires, but I'd guess from the setup I ran with Z1's those spring rates are probably close to where you want to be. That is assuming those tires don't have the level of grip Z1's do. I would just put the higher rate spring in the rear and see how you like it before swapping them out, especially if the coils were already valved with those rates in mind. what sway bar(s) are you running?

Not so sure if I can just swap the front to the rears (though, thatd be awesome if I could.) Everyone and their mothers tout that the ots kw rates are garbage. I've never ran an event, but am planning to check out the one on the 25th at cbp. 615s are coming in as we speak for the bbs'

You can. They typically use the same size length and I.D springs for coilovers. 9k in rear would work fine, but 6k in front is way too low imo!

265s on a 10.5 are perfect all around imo.
Sandy did you get the awd d2s?

Those tires look goof on the volks man! You could do a 245/40/18 which will give you almost the same look with about a half inch more width if my tire calculator is right.

Ams and tial pulled through today! Extreme psi had what I needed in stock. My car might actually run soon.

call kw? I recommend 10k front 12k rear for all around driving as well as road racing at an hpde level. Did you get a rear sway bar and bushings as well?

Gonna call kw after work as I cant talk on the phone while im at my store. I was on the fence about 245's. A guy that actually came and picked up an exhaust from me has the same exact wheels on 245 on hotchkis springs. He said he would rub on bumps and rubs on full lock.

Just called kw for you. (I have nothing better to do) They said the id is 2.5 inches and that the length is the second number on the spring the first number is the spring rate in neutons.
