My coilovers: i have flat 200#'s in the front and back and it rides like a dump truck. i found a place nearby that carries all sorts of springs. i'm gonna try some variable 100/200#ers for my rear coilovers and see how the ride is and if it will bottom out with them(most likely will, probably have to go 130/250). and i might try 175/350's for the front, just gonna play around with em. Oh, and koni does not make struts(we dont have shocks) for our cars. Matt had his custom made.[/quote] <!--QuoteBegin-mfuller Joel is absolutely correct, I did have a custom set of Koni coilovers before, but I found the ride to be too stiff for my aging backside (the handling was nothing short of glorious though). I was running linear-rate Eibach Race Springs, 300# front and 200# rear with a free length of 8" front and rear. The coilovers have since been sold and now are in a new happy home. New setup will be Eibach Pro-Kit springs with a new set of one-off Koni struts (only rebound adjustable this time, but built in house at Koni North America). Oh, and Mantapart's Bilstein coilovers come standard with linear rate 500#F/300#R springs....talk about a back-busting ride. You can request different rates, but they probably won't be able to tell you if the car will ride right and not bottom out all the time (I don't know what the free length was that they were running)....same goes for progressive (variable) rate springs.[/quote] |

I posted Intrax spring rates some time ago somewhere around here.......IIRC, the max rate is very close, but my subjective butt says the Eibachs "ramp up" much quicker. I do know for a fact that Eibach spring steel is noticeably (visually) more heavy-duty than Intrax spring steel. I still haven't been able to pry spring rate info out of H&R, but if I recall, they are very similar to Eibachs - but they dropped rather unevenly when I had mine (the front dropped ~2" while I only got ~.5" out back, and the driver's side of the car sat a good .25" lower than the passenger side, so the car looked lop-sided).[/quote] |
