I would not call myself a suspension guy.....and to that effect, I would like to get suggestions on spring rates for the Mid Engine/Rear Drive Omni. I think it would be helpfull to get it on a scale and measure weight at all 4 corners, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks for all suggestions.

I think that it would be helpful to know the weight distribution and what you'd be using it for (drag racing, street, autoX, ?) before making a suggesion, myself.

There are software tools that can do a better job than I, as well.

Good point. It would be used for drag racing. Weight distribution will probably be around 30-70. I was thinking that I should put blown struts on the rear, so it will sag on launch, but like I said, I don't really know anything about suspension.
