Are those wheel rates? Because the reported rear spring rate for the GT350/R is 914 lb/in. And wouldn't you want a higher spring rate on a real race car than the GT350R street car?
Those are wheel rates.

Hi Everyone,
Our first event went well. We will be updating this list as we move forward. Again, this is for the S550 enthusiast to follow along with our findings.

Things that need to be done before next event:

1. New tires, we were on one year old Hoosiers
2. Need more front camber and rear roll stiffness
3. Oil temp was sky rocketing after 4 laps, need to reposition Oil cooler and run even a bigger cooler.
4. The P/P Radiator worked great for now, once we start producing more power may need to be changed.
5. Change from 355 TO 373 gears, our Diff cooler worked fantastic!!
6. By early spring we will install a new powertrain with a built Coyote engine and Tremec Trans

That's it for now.

Steeda's solution to high oil temps after 15 laps, fits in the lower section of the front fascia. We used this style of cooler in the Cobra R Days.
Kept oil temps down in the 6 hour endurance races.

If you start selling your own oil cooler, would there be a way to install this without removing the front fascia? And possibly make it an easy enough install that wrenches won't get launched across the garage in conjunction with loud, horribly abrasive language?

Yeah, or how about coming to Pennsylvania? You guys have snow tires for that thing, right?
