one question tho, why did the eibach guy tell you not to switch them around? many of the track guys are running equal rates all around or a higher spring in the front and are going faster.

It just depends what you like and feel comfortable with.
Some runs = rates, the old school guys like the higher rear and lower front, and some of the new ones like Pss9 like the low rear and high fronts.
I am quite sure that the Spugen guys (Duc) worked carefully with the Eibach suppliers for the group buy. There were a couple of different spring rate choices (for street or track). The street setup approximates the spring rates for the AP2 suspension (softer rear rate than the AP1 to help keep the rear end planted on uneven surfaces, and for high speed stability), the other, a stiffer front and rear rate was specifically recommended for those that track their cars alot. Both setups had higher rate springs on the front than the back.
Perhaps getting in touch with Eibach yourself would be wise...rather than listening to hear-say on this board.

You are correct. The 375/324 was a members idea, not Eibachs. I bought mine directly from eibach, running Ap2 shocks, and this was the rec. from them. They told me if I didn't like it, bring it back. They were right, I loved it.
well according to that post, it looks like what i want is dead on the money.

AP2's
Stock Suspension Front 275-300 or Rear 225-250. This will allow the car to have the same handling characteristics as stock
Koni's Front 350-400 or Rear 300-350
These rates will allow the cars handle characteristics to be the same as stock form.
my 400/350 is right there.

But, those springs are the same length, so you could swap them around if you want.
He also says those springs (the 340 and 380) are barrel-shaped, which is more forgiving for street driving.
If you don't like the spring rates, you can always buy new ones for $59 each (their price).
check the specs on koni's website for the appropriate height range of the koni yellows. the CGs will definitely be able to cover this range.. any lower and you could bottom out = very bad.
