GC Weight Jacks & other suspension mods

Going to run the GC weightjacks with KYB shocks and struts, QA1 panhard bar, QA1 LCAs, Spohn LCA relocation brackets, Spohn torque arm, & weld in subframe connectors. Car is going to see more street than track anything I need to know about spring rates for street use? Should I just get Eibach Sportlines with all other aftermarket suspension mods? I've read about GC weight jacks and how it's a autoX application I just want adjustability.

Re: GC Weight Jacks & other suspension mods

I have CG fr/Rr.I forget the spring rates, but they are not much higher than stock ratings.Something like 600 fr & 170" lbs Rr, both eibach.CG was recommending higher rates over 700 fr.Been there before though.Other susp mods in sig.

800fronts and 150 or 175 rear work well but yes, seriously look into better shocks
