Whiteline Vs. Rs-r Springs

[negoshi8or]

After getting SK's Bilstein & Whiteline GB for my GTS, I have picked up in the forums that the Whiteline springs are around 25% firmer than factory springs.

Getting under the car to install the new shocks and springs, I have discovered the japan owner had not cut the factory springs to lower it (340mm all corners), but rather had installed some lowered RS-R springs. (see my post in the GTST Bilstein GB section)

So now I cant compare the factory ride to the upgraded one.

Can SK or any other forum member let me know what springs would provide a softer ride?

I have a suspect the RS-R's are infact firmer than the whitelines as they appear popular with drifters.

Some thoughts would be appreciated :-)

Cheers people.

This thread shows you how to measure the RSR springs then I can work out the spring rates for you. The answer to your question will be pretty obvious once we know the spring rates.

you said in the group buy thread that one corner was sitting at 345 mm lower and the rest were 340mm lower, is there an odd spring in there thats a different size or something?

cheers

Not sure sam... haven't measured them yet to compare... the garage floor is level as water doesnt flow off to any direction... time to check bushings... etc
