mag and suspension questions
im lookin at some 17x8's for my 1986 Rx7 Turbo (s4) theyve got a 35 offset and i plan to put two 225x45's on the front and 235x45's on the back (will these tyres fit). then i was thinkin of gettin either kyb agx's of koni sports (which better??? in terms of performance adjustability ease of adjustmant etc) also i was gonna get 2x400lbs and 2x275 i dont care if my teeth fall out. does all this sound like ill have a good handlin car by the end??
also i plan to use the car for fast road and very amatuerish racin with a limited budget so no coilovers etc.

400lb springs..
meaning..the spring rate?
my god..my spring rate is 120lbs (ST linears)
my ride is resonably bumpy..i wouldnt want it to be any harsher though. Its not driving aroudn that sucks, its hearing "BAM" after you hit an unavoidable bigger bump that mkaes you think you just fucked ur car up

Those rates sound like something for racing. VERY stiff. You might not like them anywhere but a SMOOTH road. Girls won't like them. Not one bit. Plus, with rates that stiff, everything that could loosen up and rattle/squeak will do so.
400kgs would be over 800lbs, so I would believe the 400lbs.
