Spring rates

[Guest Anonymous]

Current specs:

Front

300lb coil-overs

25mm hollow sway bar (similar to the Ireland’s 22mm bar) on full hard

Rear

350lb (standard dia. 5” spring)

22mm sway bar on full soft

I was thinking about going to a 375lb on the front, but the suspension fella can only supply 350 or 400lb at the moment. I’d appreciate views on 350lb or 400lb on the front to match the back

DB, Cant answer the spring rates. But have you tried GT Suspension in Flemington (Melbourne) - check there web site

I suspect that the 400's would be just fine, and you could unwind the bar bias a bit. I think I'm at 400 rear/450 front and it's usually close to neutral.

One thing to play with is rear ride height- or, if you have the kits, change the camber directly. I've found that 1/4" in the rear (corresponds to about 1/3- 1/2 degree of camber, maybe) will really change the over/understeer balance of the car. If you can get more than 3 degrees negative in front, then the rear makes even more difference...

fwiw,

Toby
