Title: ideal spring rates
Post by: rx7veilside on January 28, 2008, 02:41:43 PM
looking for a more compliant ride from my rex
at present have tein coilovers that are more suited for fast road/track and as i am a pussy and my car will never go on track and not that fast on road i am going for a different set of coilovers
now with regard to spring rate i am thinking 7.5k front and 6k rear which equates to about 400pounds for fronts and  300pounds for the rears wld any experts have any views on these rates
and anyone want to buy my teins can also chime in..thks paul
