No experience on springs but I have tracked a CGT with spring rates near
yours, I think, with pure dedicated track tires. Talk about GO KART. I can't
image you'd get a wheel planted any better with stiffer springs.
The real problem (if I read your coupe correctly) is that its FWD.
Even with a stock motor "tuned" its just below (comparitively) an MC's ~162
HP. Stand on the throttle in 3rd or 2nd and you'll get wheel spin..........Its
a traction issue and with one wheel putting down power its become a
mechanical limiting factor and now a driving technique issue on how more power could
benefit you.....
E-mail me and I'll put you in touch with the CGT owner so he can shoot you
the specs.....
