In our 2700lb late model we run 185LF 185RF 650RR and 200LR.  The LR spring has been driving me crazy for the last season.  I have been arguing with myself and wondering why no one is running like a 400lb LR.  We tried running a 350 in the left rear a few weekends ago and didn't have much luck.  BUT the car had issues beyond the LR spring so it was hard to accurately see an advantage/disadvantage.  

After that weekend was over I did some thinking.  If you can get your car to run great from entry-middle and your a little loose off, a stiffer LR spring is the most effective way to fix it.  But if you go to radical, you will loose your front grip threw the center.  Our car was very tight from entry-middle and loose off.  

I would really love to hear some other op ions about a stiffer LR in the BBSS setup.

just started reading a book on bbss setups and it mention to use a 150 to a 200 in the left rear and try a 400 to 600 in rr this also depends on the track you run on
