Whiteline Vs. Rs-r Springs

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

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
