i am looking for a coilover conversion kit to use om my vts, i would like to run my group n dampers.

i am thinking coilovers as i would like to be 40mm lowered but with the faulkner 155lbs i have are too soft.

i will be looking for some 250lbs springs, not sure if i need helpers? 99% track car 1% driven to the track.

also top mounts with adjustment are a possible thought...

i have looked on the rallydesign website but am confused as to what i need.

i think its upper and lower spring holders of some sort and a threaded tube, lol

i know my spring pans will just knock off ready for conversion.

please help, i am ready to buy now...

Well are you looking for a self conversion or are you looking at pre bought option like gaz etc

Spring rate I have found stiffer is better up until a point 300lb can be ran on group n pendant other set up items are you running a front anti roll bar ?

Helper springs not needed in my opinion

You will need to weld the threaded collar onto your current leg and then a collar as a bottom spring pan with the addition of ast top mounts will make for a great set up starting point

If you are going really stiff, 300lb in or more then run a softer tender spring as well.
