Im sending you a pm on set up. I know its going against conventional wisdom and what everyone is doing to their cars but trust me on this, my MR2 is proof.

wow, How high are you going to go on spring rates anyway?
I was thinking about a 10/10 front and rear spring rate on an old gc chasis would be pretty stiff and yet still controllable. More rotation than normal due to the higher rear wheel rate but not impossible. Much more than that (perhaps 12+) and I'd think you'd be running on tire for suspension travel.

Im setting the car up with NO swaybars.
Im designing a system that uses the springs to control roll, while using the dampers to control the springs. What a concept huh!?! The car will be a no compromise Auto-x car so im designing it that way.
So getting back to your post, yes 10kg f/r might be fine for a multi-use car, our project will be different, well..maybe in the suspension department, lol.

Cool, I was thinking about doing that for the s14 or even the mr2, but I daily drive both, and don't like the idea of pissing blood every time I go to work...
I actually like the idea of not compromising on sway bars (as a band aid) but usually like you said, it requires high spring rates and good damper adjustment to balance/tune the car.
Anyway, good luck on the new car, just let me ride with you guys when it's done.
