 The car is by no means dialed in. But, up front at the 650 lbs springs and they felt good with the limited track time it has had, which is under 20 laps unfortunately. I liked the "flatness" of the cornering and the front felt very good. The front shocks are some shocks off of a light truck that cost like $15 each, but they work in a pinch.  The front is quite low, so the standard Koni's and Blisteins I had were too long.  clearly shocks will have to be looked at, but they are typically the last thing to adjsut after dialing in the springs, settings, bump, etc.

The rear is using 250 lbers and they are much shorter than stock thus lowering the rear considerably, but not as much as the front. The rear felt great on track, it has a panhard rod and as welded axle, very planted. I don't plan to change anthing back there right now.

I can measure the lengths of the springs and post them if you like.

You can get an idea of what it looks like in this thread:
