I currently have a set of coilovers on the front, and am looking at upgrading the tortion bars on the rear to VTS ones, should I increase the front springs to balance this out?
Front springs are 250lb as standard

you need much fatter bard to match 250 lb tbh vts bars are hardly an upgrade.

Not bein funny but it depends what else ur using with it all, I mean I'm running 21mm tbs on my track car with a 30 mm arb and 325 lb springs up front on coilovers and mine don't understeer and feels really balanced.... I think really u can't just compare spring rates it's the whole package.

250lbs is soft, my GAZ units blew through all their travel and went coilbound when I ran 250 lbs springs.
