Spring Rate 4 Coilovers

[__PhaseShiftDown]

So I'm going to get a new set of coilovers for my 32GTR next week, but I'm just wondering what are ppl's thoughts on spring rate for a street driven car. I've already done heaps of searching and research on this forum and on the net.

I've been offered a good price on a set of Tein with 6KG front and 5KG rear.

But also a set of GReddy with 8KG front and 6KG rear.

I know adjusting the damping will only soften the ride very slightly, as the "hashness" comes primarily from the spring rate. I have no idea what my current spring rate are, but the car is an absolute pig to drive on parramatta road in sydney, jumps around all over the place.

- So should I go 8/6 or 6/5?

- What are ppl running atm?

- What is the stock spring rate on a 32GTR?

depends on what you wanna do with the car mate, tarmac, track-street or just street use. Pm sydneykid, he is pretty switched on with what spring rates are right for applications.

I am also very interested in this topic as my car is the same, very harsh and I would like to change the coilovers.

Please help us folks, what coilovers are good for bumpy roads?

Street between 4kg and 6kg

Track between 6kg and 12kg (depending on application)

I run 8(F) and 6® in my street 32gtr. Even that is pretty firm.

the original are something like 3(f) and 2.8®...

I had 12/10 in there and on the street that was just horrible - all it does is mask a crap shock by not allowing the suspension to actually travel

For street I'd stick to say 6 and 5/4.
