coil over springs...

[RobMatthews]

Hi guys where can i get new coilover springs made or supplied from i don\'t want a new kit just two rear springs to my specifications  
cheers for any advice rob

Lots of places, demon tweeks, grand prix racewear, racetech.

All supply 2.5" or 2.25" ID springs in a big variety of length and spring rate.

Ok and how would i work out what spring weight do i need and how high the car sits with different length springs? i belive i was told once that the front springs have a different spring rate?

[TonyC]

Ah well, there\'s the trick. You\'d need to know what rate and length your current springs are, and then work from there. Front and rear will probably be differnent, with the front a bit stiffer. But your car may have been fitted with equal rates if it is on aftermarket. Sometimes the spring manufacture does print the rate on the spring.
Alernatively, look at the spring rates offered in other aftemarket kits, and go for something similar.

Cheers tony is that your green car in your avitar? looks track set up? what rates have you found that works? Anyone else with stripped out and track set up are welcome to add what they are running or suggest? cheers rob

Have you not been reading my mamoth thread?
Can\'t advise on spring rates yet -not set them up. Ask again later this year....
