I have bilstein's and ground controls. I"ve tried a couple different rate springs and the best combo street/track setup for me is 350/300. It's still understeer enough to be safe on the street but balanced enough to be fun. If i were going to do a track only setup i'd run something more along the lines of 400/400. I autox frequently and have done a couple trackdays, it's tons of fun. I used to run 400/300 but found that set up had too much understeer. It also wasn't very comfy on the street. I also have the eibach 25/28mm swaybars so your setup may be different. If i were on stock bars i'd run like 350/350. I'd say that the suspension is the best part of my car. The only reason i haven't sold it actually...
