In T3 trim this car will have to run the LTT / LFX V6. I figure this is a good place to start since I'm on a budget and can always move up to T2 by replacing the V6 with a V8 and changing the rear gear.
Here are the allowed changes:
800lb max spring F&R.
SS front fascia, spoiler allowed.
1LE-SS Track Pack permitted part #23123398 .
Tower Brace 22756880, red.
TPR rear upper shock mount #22122,
Pfadt lower control arm reinforcement # 1410135,
Dry Sump kit # 009-92200,
Brake Kit SS (p/n 23120542) For 2011 cars adaptor kit p/n(23484878).
My question to you guys / gals are what spring rates y'all think I should run. This will be a racecar only and street ability is not needed. I will be running all of the options listed above available for the 2010.

Sweet! Sounds like a cool project. Does the car have all the wiring for the V8 still? I'm not sure how involved that would be for an OE V8 to V6 swap solution. Might consider doing the LS3 from the get-go in T2 but I won't steer you away from it. Just saying long term you'll likely save money going straight to the V8.
On spring rates...first question is what dampers can you run? Are you ONLY limited to the 1LE kit?
Second is what mounting geometry changes can you make? I.E. can you do camber/caster modifications such as plates or are you bound to the factory adjustments?
Good luck!
