Good job man, I knew'd you'd keep it going

thanks leon, im just getting started

 

Are these progressive rate springs, or linear? Keep in mind that linear is great for race, but sucks on the street, and vice-versa.

Also, as a point of reference, here are some rates (lbs/in):

stock: F=~220, R=~150 (prog)
Eibach: F=~280, R=~180 (prog)

Okay. I have a question on this topic. I put eibachs on my ride back in August and took em off a little over a month ago due to the stiff ride. If I were to order a custom Eibach prokit with stock spring rates, it would feel just like a stock ride, correct?

At this point of time I am have stock springs and Koni's which in my opinion is a very comfortable ride. I am lowered just a tad, but nothing major. When I took tha eibachs off, tha rear sits tha same as it did with em on. I only notice tha difference in tha front gap. I'm just curious about this topic at hand.

Peace

I'm not sure that will work very well. If you shorten the spring (lower) and don't increase the stiffness (lbs/in), you might be hitting the bump stops over bigger bumps. The way the spring rate works is how many inches a given mass will compress the spring ... since your car's mass does not change, and since you want the OEM rate, it will still compress the same amount as a stock spring. However, since the spring is about 1.5" shorter than stock, you might run into problems with bottoming out. Does that make sense?

This is just all speculation of course, based on my limited suspension knowledge

It kinda makes sense. But see, I do even have bump stops at all. When I was goin' through my "suspension stress", tha head mechanic at tha dealership said that u really don't need tha bump stops in. I can't remember exactly how he worded it though, so I can't go into detail with it. But I have been without bump stops for tha past 4 months and have never bottomed out, even when I was lowered on eibachs.

 

What tha hell ever happen to this thread? Is anyone gonna get custom spring rates? What's tha deal?

Peace
