New ITA Protege Build

I have a question about the car. Since the early 90's Ford Escorts were very similar cars I am wondering what your thoughts are on what the C/O spring rates should be? You see I am helping out a Lemons team that races one of these and they are thinking about going with adjustable C/O mounts and matching springs.

Does anyone have any suggestions for spring rates? Free spring heights?

hi i run a 1999 itb protege with the 1.8 fp motor i have to weigh 2645 a lot more i thought about doing a ita with the fs 2.0 but like you said getting the car to min weight might be a problem.if you have any questions let me know.
thanks, Scott good luck
