gttouring should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
well i found running a frontie was that i had 'rocks' in the rear.
High aire pressure (like 38 psi) and very stiff rear spring and shock combo. Why? to reduce under steer and squatting on acceleration.
Now i liked toe in and about 2.5 to 3 degrees camber. because when i was braking i had no 'dog sliding on a wet floor' wheel behavior.
and as you accelerate and the nose like to lift the tire move back and out like when you compress it too much (this is my observation)
I think spring rates might be almost equal, a little softer in front to my liking as it allow the weight to squat on the wheel as you transer under braking and actually turn. a 900 kilo car hmm? what is it? and what spring do you have now, rmember set up can have a lot to do with your driving style and preference...
My old sentra racer had 300lb/inch springs, and 325 lb per inch rear. very stiff but i like to toss it about.
