Springs. Debating on Tanabe GF210 or Suspension Techniques or RB. I've been googling for 20-30 minutes and not sure whether I'm just retarded. For any/all 3, linear/progressive? spring rates F/R? more street/track oriented?
From a first glance, I would prefer a progressive spring since it'll be more forgiving on the street and keep up when I kick it on track. Just from what I've read, no real experience yet. Penny for your thoughts?

I haven't done the full bushing job yet (only did the sway bar bushings so far), so I really can't comment WRT comparing brands there. On the springs & struts question, I'm using Racing Beat springs (linear springs) and a set of the the KYB AGX adjustable struts. I've been very happy with this combination; the KYBs have 4 adjustment settings up front, and 8 rear, and adjustments are easy to get to without having to take anything apart. I've found that with the KYB settings at the midpoints ("2" front, "4" rear), handling is crisp & predictable on the twisties/autocross, with a neutral balance. Ride quality & comfort is actually a big improvement over stock - but then my stock springs & struts had 15 years of wear & tear on them when I replaced them!
