[urq] Rear spring rate recommendations?

[Todd Phenneger]

Before you do that try ditching the rear bar.  I ran 300/275 on my 4kq with Urq Suspension and rear bar and It was great.  For the track I would have preferred more but I like a car that can rotate.  That said, I have a friend that finally ditched bars altogether because he was getting faster track times that way.  I always found my car was a little twitchy with the rear bar and much less so without it.

Just a thought.

Also, are all your Tie Rods and bushings in good shape back there?  That would do it too.
