Does anyone know what the standard spring rates are on the M35 ARX RS and AXIS?

I have an AXIS and the spring rates are to hard, looking at getting some BC's in a softer rate.

Matt; Talk to member Bigkevracer; I believe he purchased custom rate BC's.

Personally, I don't think you need to go softer than their recommended rates; I'm using a set of BC BR's,with their recommended rates, I don't believe you'd want any softer. They're not what you normally expect from Coilovers.

On minimum damping adjustments; mine is just like a well damped standard M35; no harshness, no jiggling or rattling, but not boat spec either. I'm a bit past crashy, rough, suspension; I couldn't be happier with the way mine is.

Cheers, Dale.

After I put the swaybars in I found my BC's need to be set fairly firm. Dirt roads can be a little annoying now, great on the road though.

Interesting Scotty; I went the opposite way after fitting my Bars, (I run my 30mm front on the stiffest setting).

I actually backed my fronts off to 2 clicks in from full soft, (was on five in) because it became a bit too "darty" in the steering for my liking, and it didn't really have any weight transfer.

Different strokes and all that...

True, Craig drove my car today and felt the rear needed to be lightened a couple of clicks but I like it on the firmer side. Perhaps I should have another play now the castor arms are in.

Probably should get another alignment done when the rear camber bolts get here too.

hows the vq35 swap going? i want a m35 now...

Haha, no cash otherwise it would be done already. Build parts are cheap for the VQ35de in the states but I have a few spare VQ25det's now so no reason to build the VQ35 atm, especially as I havent found the limits of the 2.5 yet.

I would love to drop the 3.5 into a smaller car, say a datto 1600, and make an awd monster. :devil:

Sorry Dale, that was Commsman who purchased custom rate BCs... about 1-2kg softer front and rear. I'm not sure he's driven on the normal springs for comparison though?

I'm with Dale, I don't know why you'd want to go softer. Very happy with mine as is. :thumbsup:

Hey Ryan; sorry about that, I realised a few days later, my brain has the dumb...:cheers:

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
