Anyone With Custom Spring Rates?

Anyone running custom springs rates? What are your rates and how are they working out for you for the type of events you participate in?

I'm running 400lb square with a Cusco front bar and factory rear bar.

I'm starting to think these rates are too soft for autocross, weight transfer in slaloms is a little too slow. Will probably bump up soon.

What kind of alignment settings are you running? Tires? Any reason for the choice of square rates?

There really wasn't much info when I got the suspension installed so it was more or less a guess. Keep in mind the rear motion ratio makes the rear 400lb act more like a 240lb.

I'm running:
F -3.2 1/8th toe out
R -2.4 1/8th toe in

ZIIs, Federals, will be trying RS3 version 2s very soon.
