    You generally run softer rear springs on gravel rally cars. Standard rate and ride height will be ok. Mine are softer again than std.

    Tar's for getting there. Dirt's for racing!

    I always ran my rally Escorts with a lower rear, it gave more stable braking and a more predictable turn it.

    I can't answer the OP's question but this is where I bought my King spring set from.
