400lb/in is a lot of spring, has nothing to do with a race car. I wouldnt call onfire's car a race car by any means. Im going to move this over to the handling/suspension forum and see what those guys have to say..

I'd suggest that you check your weight on an accurate scale. I scaled my car on a set of road race scales. It still has ac,pw,pdl,ps,etc,etc....plus added weight of a 6point and a twin turbo system. Stock battery. I weigh 200. Unless you have added some stereo weight or are a vert, or weigh more than 200lbs, 3999 is a little high. Cablebandit's car isn't that heavy and it's a vert.

Default Cheap Solution

I just put a couple spacers between the bottom of the strut and the lower A-arm. For every 0.5inch the car goes up ~1.0 inch.
