So if you had a choice (assuming your car has grip to begin with), would you rather run a stiffer setup or a softer setup? Talking abot springs/shocks mostly. Many months ago I thought stiff was the way to go and I was running blue/silver springs all around with 50wt. Granted silver really isn't all that stiff compared to green/black springs.. One night the track was loose so I ended up with yellow springs and 30wt and I haven't been comfortable whenever I went to a silver or stiffer spring, even though our newly resurfaced track has tons of grip.

I guess the main problem is I don't have a lap timer for practice, and with only 2qual and a main per week, I don't want to waste it by running a setup that might not work. Anyways, just curious if you prefer a stiffer/heavier spring/shock setup or a softer one. What kind of differences to sway bars make? Sorry for the vague questions.
