What front springs to use?
We have a VTS with Koni rear shocks with 22mm torsion bars and a 24mm anti roll bar lowered about 50mm, with 4 polybushes.
Got bilstein b8 coilovers on the front and it has 180lbs springs at the moment, question is; what lb springs to put on the coilovers with the back suspension at the above setup?
It's a track car only, non road use.
Thanks for any answers.

250-300lb if the dampers can cope with that.

The B8's are only 30% uprated vs standard shocks. To run a proper track setup you will need to run more race orientated dampers.

Let me know if you want some tarmac dampers. I can give you a good price. You will cry at the price of rear dampers though.
