I'm very tempted to go with the old go Kart theory of who care's how stiff it
is, as long as I can move some of the weight forward. The car is using the
original 4CV springs designed for a 1322lb car. My car weighs in at exactly
1000 lbs. At the local tight and twisty track, the car seems to do well and
when I've lost her, I lost the back end. Most corners at our track here are
so slow that you just drive through and nothing happens. Maybe altitude is
keeping everything safe and sane. But at Coronado I did encounterr this
pushing problem. There is a test and tune this weekend, maybe I'll have to
go...................Cheers Henry

Having more front ride height than the rear will cause understeer for sure.
Plus with a rear engine car, the front end is running light already.
So the question is, will lowering the front offset the increase in spring rate
from cutting the springs? That's going to depend on many variables, and I
would defer to Bill's reply about running on a skidpad/ tight track and doing
some real testing.
