I have done some searching and havent come up with a whole lot of information. I want to run my mk3 at the track and be competitive but still be able to drive my car on the street. The car is making in the neighborhood of 500 wheel. Running a R154 to a 4.10 rear gear. Suspension is all stock accept coilovers and traction bars. Currently the coilovers have 14k front and 8k rear springs. I also plan to run a 16" slick probably in the range of 26-28" tall. Now the question is...
What spring rate should I be running in the rear of the car to get a proper squat when launching?
What width slick should I be running?
I know these questions are subject to trial and error based on what type of launch your doing and the weight of the car as well as a few other things but I am looking to get some sort of way to figure these things out. I dont want to have to buy a set of springs and re-valved dampers just to find that they arent even close.
