17735, Stock Spring Rates? Anyone?
Posted by Michael_97RS, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
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

Front - 430
Rear - 260


Eibach ProKits:
Front: 330
Rear: 160


Suspension Techniques:
Front: 200
Rear: 160


Stock (Non Turbo/Auto Tranny/Manual Tranny):
OEM Stock 1G FWD
Front: 134
Rear: 128.8

OEM Stock 1G AWD
Front: 146
Rear: 140

95-96 OEM Stock 2G AWD
Front: 265
Rear: 162 (+/- 8)

97-99 OEM Stock 2G AWD
Front: 246
Rear: 151

That looks reasonable and right.

Why in the %^$&*% would Tein drop the sprnig rate below stock ratings????????

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?
