specific rate springs

HKstang · 02-28-2001, 11:45 PM

Hi guys,
I'm new to the site so forgive me if I write anything wrong.

Just wondering if anyone could tell me what options I have for specific rate springs. I want a 1.5" drop, nothing more, I'm sick of my other cars(Civic and a Supra turbo) bottoming out. I'm looking for fairly high spring rates, 700-1000 in the front and around 350-400 in the back. These are just figures I've gotten from reading other posts so I'd welcome any other suggestions for spring rates. thanks in advance.

Geoff

What else do you have suspension wise?

Ditto!
What-cha got done to the car?

Those are some quite stiff springs for the street!
I personally ran the Eibach 450-580's, then moved up to 650# linears from BBK. Now on my roadracer, I am moving up to 880# (equivalent) coilovers.
