I have managed to get some more info. At last I have found the formula I needed. Before I was transposing from Metric units and getting conflicting results.

Your choice is :- for comfort go with 250 Front and 260 rear. This would still be stiffer than a family saloon.
For a more sporting set up try 280 Front and 300 rear.
end:
I am yet to source some full length rear springs at 260lbs if anyone has supplier would be apreciated.

Hi Stuart,
did TD make any other recomendations or changes to your car?

Do you know what the final Camber, Caster, toe settings etc are set to?

Did it make much difference to your cars handling?

I've got Marlin supplied springs at the front and Apex lowering springs at the back, but no idea what spring rates they are?

thanks

Peter
