liking what trackday has done to his rear springs... anyone know what poundage a stripped out nova should be on the rear?

simply a case of weighing the rear and getting springs accordingly to the weight on rear or more to it?

seems 50 quid for some springs and 28 quid for the platforms is cheaper than doing the coilover conversion!

Rear springs are very stiff as when cornering, the pitching from front to rerar puts huge force on the outside rear. Not sure what poundage people use but I know a certain tuner used 700lb springs on the rear of a Clio. People suggest 300lb on the fr of a LET Nova. Go figure.
