Jon's driven my car with this setup on street tires. I don't think we struggled with corner exit traction. In fact even in Dover where it's bumpy as heck he was able to post the fastest time on day 2.

Actually I did kind of feel like I was struggling with traction over the bumps in retrospect, now that I've been to dover in other cars. Of course that could have been a lot of things. 1000 lb springs do push your ride frequency up pretty high though.

I suspect something lower like 800 or 900 all around will be better. At the same time it might be worth a try and you can always try lowering it later.

Yea I'm going to start with 1000lb since I already have them and go downward if I have to. I'd be surprised if we struggled for exit traction on 315 Hoosiers.

I think you should buy another set of motons so you can use the 1000lb springs @ meadowlands and the softer set everywhere else. It is a little easier to just swap out pre-assembled dampers than swapping springs and adjusting ride height.
