#17735, "Stock Spring Rates? Anyone?"


          

Does anyone know what the stock spring rate is?

I was looking at the Tein website yesterday and the spring rates they offer for their drop springs seems low. 190 lbs/in. front and 112 lbs/in. rear.

List any sprnigs rates you guys know for any brand springs.



15.9 @ 86.7mph

That's a pretty good list Murix. I wonder what my AroSpeed coilover spring rate is... it seems like the rear is considerably stiffer than it needs to be. Any way I could test it?
