Sweet! I'm in no big rush since the car isn't actually tuned yet and I've got no plans to hit the track soon... but the struts are leaking a little bit, so I figure the seals need replacing at the least.

I am a little curious as to the process for evaluating the suspension. Considering I've got only a few thousand miles on these coilovers over the last few years since I got them (virtually all the mileage is at RFR though) to see them already leaking makes me worry they're just too stiff for the punishment RFR doles out. How do you guys go about designing a damper solution for a particular car/use? If 12kg/mm front 9kg/mm rear is just too harsh for a 3000 lb car that sees the frost heaves at Reno-Fernley, what's the best way to figure out the correct rates for my application?
