the harder the better!

(thats what she said)


struts arent that hard to swap anyways you can swap them in before a race

then swap out

just get a lifetime alignment from a local shop lmao.gif

 

I posted up before that these springs will befor autoX and Drag guys. biggthumpup.gif

I am trying to get around a 350/300 spring rate with a 1.2 " drop

 

Honda "drag" racers are going with 1000lb Skunk2 springs. But that's for track/drag only. They say that 350-400 is good for the daily driver.

Would be nice to have a set of 350lb springs in a package set of 4. And then be able to buy a set of 2 1000lb springs for the rear.

 

Yeah but what kind of WHP numbers are they seeing?
How stiff do you guys want them? As I said before, these are custom so we can make them whatever you want if there is enough interest

 

im with whatever jon wants LOL

 

jon- set the numbers mang... i need some springs.

But I've never used an aftermarket set before, so I don't know how harsh they are as is. I'm sure we could call Eibach and ask them what theirs is rated. Then add a little more.

 

well the eibachs are actually pretty soft IMO...

 

Actually, the Eibachs are VERY soft!!!! I just got off the phone with them.
The guy only had the info sheet on the rear set. They come straight from Germany.

It's a dual rate spring. The initial rate is 85lbs/inch. The second rate is 159lbs/inch.


I can't imagine that being much better than stock. Just lower.

 

They are better though. Or maybe it's just the strut combo that is.

Try to find out what the HKS springs are rated.

I know they are labeled as "HARD".
