I think that's very close to my weight, I might be 50-60 pounds heavier but that's about it.

I went autocrossing for the first time last night and it was a blast, managed to turn some decent times but the front was on the bump stops the whole time and it understeered pretty bad unless you already had the back end coming around. It was a very tight course

For 200# here are the numbers from my spreadsheet. For the coil over with the torsion bar I'm just adding the wheel rates, hope that's the right way to do it. I'd take them with a big grain of salt but here they are anyway.

Front
200lbs/inch
121 CPM

Rear
stock TB
250 lb/inch coilover
134 CPM

10% difference

Rear w/944 TB
250 lbs/inch coil over
139 CPM

13.1% difference
