    WTB: Rear 5'' tall, 2.5'' 650lbs+ coils.

    As the title says,

    Anyone switching up their rear rates, or whole setup?
    I'd be interested in the remains.

    To break it down:

    Looking for either TC Kline or GC Eibach rear coil springs.

    Rear coil springs.
    5 inch tall.
    2.5 diameter.
    600lbs+ rate.

    I have GC Eibach rear ~400lbs coil springs to trade if you are looking to upgrade or calm it down a bit with the same specs posted above.

    I use "~", because I got them from a friend, but the paint is too faded to show the GC part #.
    I have plenty of friends who are running coils from 400lbs to 700lbs rates and we guesstimated that mine are in the 400lbs area.

    Trade? Sell? Let me know.

    pp ready, 91745.

      I've got a set of H&R Race springs that I switched to Sport springs. They were on the car when I bought it, but for less than a year.

      I don't have any idea if they are what you're looking for but I figured I'd toss it out there.

        You may want to try those Race springs Abby. I had e36 H&R Race rears with my red car and I loved them!

          I need something a little higher than a 575lbs rate, but it's really tempting. I might settle for this if I can't find anything. Appreciate it though.

          Wouldn't they have a higher rate considering it being for the e36? 2 of my friends are running Race springs and the rear still doesn't feel stiff enough for what I need it for. I raised my car in the rear with pads and it still rubs on random bumps/passengers :(
          Thanks for some insight though!

            Did you tell Jay they were 2.5? That might account for why he said they dont exist.. they are 2.25, which come in 500# and 6 inch, yours arent 5"

                You're not comparing it to fronts are you? The rear trailing arm has a leverage affect on the spring making it feel softer... But ask z31, im pretty sure they're 500, i even double checked the FS ad I went from 500(those) to 500 currently, didnt really seem stiffer

                  I know. It cuts it in half from feel.
