if so, what llb front and rear spring rates do you run. Especially interested in AE86 setups, but advise on others as well.

thx in advance.

don't know about targa.. but I like 10/8kg for circuit.

I don't mind that on street, but if under 100k all the time could knock it back to 8/7 or so.

im my ae86 currently have 8kg front and 6 rear which in reality i believe is to hard to grip racing, and abit to firm for street comfort !!
for fast street and circuit tho i would probably head back to 6kg front and 4.5/5kg rears

in my ae86 on circuit i run 8kg front and 4.7kg rear any more then than it becomes a over steery pig. i use 225/50/15 toyo ra1 race tyres.
tarmac hill climbing or targa i my self would go soft with longer travel shocks, eg beefed up ome length 6 or 7 front with 3.9 or 4.3 rear. and car lifted to stock height, suspension travel is a must imo for rally.

Have checked and we had 96lb in the rear and 220lb up front. Certainly felt good inside the car on stages and was OK when touring as well. Didn't appear to have excessive body roll at Manfield or Puke either.
