for road use: kings 'low' yellow springs are probably the simplest option. drop in and drive. theyll give you a real world 30mm drop - which is fine, zero scrubbing evident anywhere. the front feels a 'little' soft compared to the rear (get some GOOD shocks with decent compression damping, and that should take the hassle out). that said, they are street springs, so their aim of maintinaing some degree of comfort (not too much!) has to be considered.
problems with dropping the ma61: REAR CAMBER... like draven mentioned... in low to mid speed corners, the tail will have a tendancy to slide. the added you camber you get reduces tyre contact, and youll break away more easily - however, crank that corner speed up to 90kmh + and the back end will just dig in and abs-sa-fuckin-lutely RAIL!
we are talking like a go-kart....
dynamic driving (not freeway runs) up to ~170 has been thrown about on my kings and im abs stoked with their road holding. very predictable breakway...
draven, for track/road use, youll need 300lb/in rate front springs, 220lb/in rate rear springs (kings low are 185+ front (mild rising rate) and rears are 205lb/in). this still isnt optimal for track, but a better compromise.
