I changed them over to #200 in front and #175 in the back. Because they were to short.

510s generally like equal rates F/R, or slightly higher in the rear. Softer in the rear tends to give you a bouncy/pogo ride on stuff like sectioned concrete (Main St. in VTA by the mall is a prime example). Also, understeer.

I really should read my posts better before I post, now I look silly :roll:

Yeah, if you all don't mind, I'd love to tag along. I don't think my dad will like that idea though. Still got a week to figure it out.

Let me sort through my springs, but I should have enough pairs to do some testing with your set-up. Do you have a set of 200/225/250 springs lying around?

It doesn't have to be before the run, but it would be fun to to get your car dialed in, with a proper sway/anti-roll bar.

Julian's got a better chance at driving that Morgan on the run than whitebird... wouldn't have him on the maybe list. hopefully not too much longer. too bad i didn't keep my L20 after the swap, definitely would have came in handy now.

The Amtrak station in Camarillo, off of Lewis. We can stop for a minute at Fillmore, to the east of Chambersburg/Hwy 23 there is a shopping center with Starbucks/Vons/Autozone. That might be something Kelly would be interested in...?

This. I can't see bringing a Subaru to a Datsun fight. The L20B needs pistons, rings, and a bore. I gave up digging after that.
