450 front 350 rear, Its just used for autox.
I chose those rates because I already had the springs from my old autox car and they work fine on the rabbit.

On my old WackyWabbit SCCA H-production road race car, I used a front spring rate of 500# to 600# depending on the type of track and a rear spring rate of 350# with two rear anti-sway bars. I had a selection of rear anti-sway bars and used different ones for different tracks.
The springs were the race type 2-1/2 inch ID with a length of 7 inches.
Spring rates were selected based on a prelimanary calculation of the Roll Couple Distribution. Anti-sway bars also provide an equivalent "spring rate" to the calculation.

depends what your trying to do.. but alot of people including myself just wanna go low.
so i kept stock offset wheels, low pro tires and a good amount of lowering.. slammed the **** of my rabbit on raceland coils with spacers. mostly because i couldnty afford a better suspension..
you loose alot of the dinamic and travel on teh suspension as u go lower.. so sometime its not the best to be too tight...

ran: 350f/250r
mostly autox/daily
suggested by ground control and others
swapped the front springs to the back and go some 450's
450f/350r
autox/track days/daily
wanted stiffer for track days and autox events, but not soo stiff it couldn't be semi-comfortably street driven. Also wanted to get a little more adjustment out of my ground controls, so i use shorter springs in the front, and was then able to corner balance the car
