Do you have another ? Hotmail bounced both e-mails probably as they're too large.

This may or may not work..

Does anything on there relate to the actual spring compression rates? (sorry for the thread bump,you may get this a lot with me ;D)

Post by: hongkongphooey on January 14, 2010, 06:40:21 PM: So for the coupe front,i make that compression of 308mm (12.13") which seems a lot. Under 330kg (726lb).

So that's 60lb/in springs for the front. That seems weak,i could compress that by 3" just by standing on it. Or i on the wrong track?

Title: Re: Road springs
Post by: lanciamad on January 14, 2010, 09:32:51 PM: 88.8 lb/in
Title: Re: Road springs
Post by: lanciamad on January 14, 2010, 09:49:46 PM: Betaboyz lowering springs, 30mm lower, 25% uprated, must be around 111 lb/in.

LOL....Oh yeah! ;D

Still,88 is weaker than i expected. I may go for some home made coilovers actually as the springs on mine are already cut and are still too squishy.

someone of you, can tell me the inner diameter of coupe springs??

Thank you very much..
