You guys running coilovers where/how many spacers do you run
I'm running one under the c/c plate, and one on top. Was thinking of changin it up a lil and see if this helps pre-load the springs abit.

Do you mean the ones for the Camber Casters plates than go on the shaft of the strut? Other than those I have no spacers for my Coil Overs.Just a sleeve, height adjustment nut, and top mount! Oh Yeah a spring!
What Brand do you have?

Those 150's. Mine are as well and they feel stiff to!. (351 though) But will work great at the track! Looks like you could go down to 130's if really wanted.
I put as many spacers under the CC plate to allow for as much strut travel as possible. Then adjust the ride height to where you want it!

Does yours feel stiff if u went out and pushed/pulled on the front?
My eibach drags didnt..that thing lifted like a mofo

Mine came with 3 spacers. I put all three I believe...two at least UNDER CC.
One thing you have to be sure is that you don't bottom out the strut by doing this. Should be fine but double check!

Yes I to went from Eibach to C/O w/ 150#. Eibach;s felt looser.
Just keep what you have. It will throw the **** out of it at the track!
After seeing my 150# throw the front end up I though I may need 175's to slow it down. But I have strange adjustablers to tighten it up.

What would putting 0 under and 2 up top do
And how would i know if i bottomed the strut out
Stock Blocks are Unbreakable
All spacers on top just shortens the travel on the strut, thus the sooner the tire will come off the ground. Longer the front tire is in contact with the ground the better weight transfer and more controlled.
As for bottoming out, don't think it will happen just possibilty may be there. You would probably need to know how far the shaft will travel into the body of the strut and push the front end down till coils bind and see if the shaft reaches that point!
