Some Help With Spring Rates

[ItsBoostin]

Hey guys just after some help with spring rates im about to order my coilovers for my race r32 gtst but not 100% sure of on what spring rates i need.

Just wondering what some of you guys are running or recomend.

Any help would be great thanks.

hi mate, you havent mentioned what you intend to use the car for, or what tracks etc.

since no one else has said anything, I've just gone for 5kg for the rear on a bilstein setup and 8kg for the front or 300pound and 450pound.

as far as i know, the faster guys at my local tracks run about 12kg in the front and 6-7 in the rear, but not 100% sure. 0r 700ponds front and 350-400 rear.

I know gary sydneykid (Gary) who used to be on here used to recomend quite soft rates, like 4 on the rear and 5-6 on the front and let sway bars control roll.

everyone has there own opinion, id say 6kg rear/8kg front on a decent brand coilover would be a safe choice.

good luck, cheers
