I was going to suggest a tube of granite but it's quite heavy.

You'll ruin the handling with all that weight, can't use that...

Superfierros people on here are always joking - in your case because they could not understand your use of English. If you wanrt a firm track type suspension you probably want coilovers and as said you can both adjust the ride height and specify irme springs. If you want to lower the look of the car and firm up the handling Eibach springs and bilstein dampers are very well thought of for road use. Once people get over the fun of teasing newcomers their is a lot of top class information here, Philipm in particular knows a lot about competition suspension.

Something like a 280+ spring on a coilover is probably the way to go. What are the roads like over there?

Here are the spring kits from AVO, but they should fit any 2.25 inch coilovers.

CRF450 had 600 lb springs on his track 306.
