I'm hoping to run my DB12R outdoors on low/medium grip asphalt (sealed, treated with grape soda) in a few weeks. I've only run the car indoors on carpet to this point. Should I start with the kit setup and double-pinks all around, or start somewhere else? Are the progressive springs a big improvement outdoors? What size progressive spring would you start with?

Are the kit kingpins the best thing to run with the progressive springs, or is there some longer kingpin that is better?

I see a lot of setups now expressed in terms of Sure Lube numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) What's the translation to diff lube weights (5K, 10K, etc.)?

Thanks for helping,
