Toyo RA1 and Spring Rate Q's for SA

Have any of you guys used the RA1's before? The local CSP champ thinks that they're a good tire because they break much more progressively than the Kumho v700, but I'm a n00b when it comes to R compound tires. I am also looking at getting new springs as well, to go with my new Koni struts, and I was wondering what rates you guys run. I was thinking along the lines of 175 front, 150 rear, with a SE front sway bar and an '81 bar in the back.

I'm hoping to be very competative in CSP this year, at least locally. I can't run with the big dogs in Alberta, as my budget is quite limited, but here in SKOON, things aren't quite so competative. I'll be up against deggail in his FC for sure, so I know that I'll have someone to chase.

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
