Yeah front. It'll be used mainly for fast road driving. 3k miles a year

I use 325lb front and 250lb rear on the road and it's fine, only gets a bit sketchy on the bumpiest of country roads

Depends on the dampers.... But I'd say 300 minimum, and happily consider upto 450

They're GAZ coil overs front and standard Gaz on the rear.

Ill try 300-350's and see how I get on

Cheers

Don't forget to soften the damping with stiffer springs.
