koni yellow ground control combo

[cb7don]

i found this setup for a really fair price...they ask me what spring rates do i want for tha coilovers...which RATE should i choose?????

It depends what you want them for. Learn a thing or two about spring rates, and figure out what you need for your application.

Do you really care about performance, or just looks? Stiffer springs will give you greater performance to a point... but on a street car, too stiff will cause you to lose control on rough roads. Too soft will be like stock.

well i've got KYB AGXs on my GC coilovers and they ride really nice, no bouncy ebay shit. Spring rates are nice. Eibach did their HW before they designed the springs for the GC coilovers. Its worth it in my books. Idk how koni yellows ride though.

what do you plan on doing with the car? autocross, daily driver, track use, drag? gotta answer all those questions before i can suggest spring rates.

That does absolutely nothing to help. He's asking what spring rate he should choose, since they are giving him options.

And Konis > AGXs. AGXs ride like poop.

i run GC with illuminas.

i gotta pull my wheels tomorrow anyway, so i'll get you my spring numbers while im at it.

i usually run my illuminas at 3 front and 4 rear.

its pretty stiff with the springs that are there, but if i drop to 2front and 2rear then it rides pretty close to stock, just a bit lower and stiffer.
i know this doesnt compare directly to koni yellows but it may give you a good idea of how the springs behave.

let ya know.

ITs a daily driven h22 4 door ex i jus wanna lower my car tha rite way and be some whaT slaMMed..........p.s

do you want a stiffer ride or closer to stock feel? since you want to be slammed, it'll need to be a little stiffer to keep from bottoming out.

i ran 400lb/front and 300lb/rear when i had konis/gc's. the ride was close to stock but i bottomed out quite a bit, mainly on the highways when they got really up/down bumpy. my suggestion would be to call ground control and talk to them, as they will be able to help you a little better then we will, theyre really nice people and all of them are into the car thing so they should be able to lead you in the right direction.

if you arent getting the GC's directly from them then id suggest getting 500lb/front and somewhere around 350-400/rear

That's still not answering the main question.
Are you wanting it be stiff, so you can auto-x it?
Or are you still wanting a somewhat smooth ride like oem?

are you serious 500 for the front and 350 on the back. that is not good for a daily driver unless all the roads you drive on are all flat. nuespeed race spring rates are 400f and 300r and its pretty stiff already. So get something close but not stock around 250/300 f and 150/200r

[mcdizzle]

my 400/300 setup felt really cushy to me, but like i told him im not the expert and neither is anyone on here. so he should just call ground control and talk to them cause thats what i did when i originially ordered mine.

If you just want it lowered, get the softest spring rate they offer.

Yes, but this thread has nothing to do with your inferior shocks... in fact, it has nothing to do with anything you posted, and you posted nothing about the ACTUAL topic at hand. Therefore, you've contributed nothing to this thread.
