Spring Rates For Street Driven 33

[Mr_G]

Hey guys,

Ill be getting some new coilovers within the next month, and just contemplating about spring rates. I currently have teins, and not too sure on what rates they are, but they are pretty solid even with the helper springs.

I drive my car on the occasional track day / drag day and will be putting in sway bars further down the line. It is mainly driven on street

So my question is, what spring rates would be most suitable for my liking? I dont mind abit hard, but not too hard, and I would like to be able to get a bog down launch, instead of skipping on the spot.

I think with coilovers you can go up to 2kg lighter than the recommended. At least that is what I am doing with my Silvia - which is 100% a street car and I think the softer springs will absorb the NQ roads better and not make the car "skip".

SK in this forum always gives good advice though so he might have some specific weights for you.

Have a look at the Group Buy thread for your particular model, I think your questions are all answered there. If not ask away.
