how much hight do you get in the back??

[azian21485]

when i had sport springs i remember the back being taller

it only makes sense to have the rear springs taller...the distance between the control arm and top mounting points is alot greater in the rear than the front...i could be wrong though...what's the numbers on the springs say?

[JDMAlex]

the back were rated less lik 400 p or so

and the fronts were 600p

i fugured because of the weight of the engine it needed more strength? and the back would be fine with less.. but the size of the spring is what threw me off


a picture i took compairing the back OEM springs with my "wepon-r's"
oems are huge..





and a pic with the shock and strut (look at the space i have left)




so im really not shure what to do...


if this is my highest setting , i would be scared put bigger rims on

[azian21485]

mmm...you're probably right then if those are the spring rates=)

Definitly 600 in the front...even though thats sounds more like a track rate. I usually run 450-350's on my street cars. It also depends on how much adjusting collar u have. I usually put the longer collar in the back.

...all the way up in the back on my Tom Motorsport's:

[JDMAlex]

all the collars were the same , should i have had longer?
