we use a 245 front tire... So with a larger front contact patch.. I would seriously reconsider those rates.
when you guys say larger split, Larger higher front rate, or softer rear rate?

I was trying to ease the transition from Martin's mediocre coilover at 10k front 8 k rear. He also has changed alot of bushings, alignment arms etc. Getting him off the stiff rear whiteline bar, off the bump stops, and on a good damper i feel is step one. i dont want to throw too many changes at him at once.

Dwnshift, after testing and speaking with you i like the large front bar on the 370, im leaning on Martin to try the same, but i want to get somewhat of a baseline with these rates.
