This is JPlue's car, 5" 700lb rear spring with no adjuster.

Is that 5 inch diameter or length?

Length

5 inch length. I think diameter is called spring ID which is 2.25 for e30s? Double check that tho

my rear spring is a coil over spring 5in with a 2in id its big though i think a 1.5 or 1.75 id would b better

Technically it's not a rear coilover that is being spoken about.

It's an inboard spring with an adjuster.

I run, 600lbs 60mm id spring on a true coilover...

On an early, high rear arch car, what length should the coilover springs be in the rear so theres minimal wheel gap? Are adjusters needed?

I was thinkin maybe a 5" or 6" 700ish lb spring.

where would one find a 5in 700lb spring im getting frusterated with searching i only find 8 and up or 150lb 5in
thanks

Ah poop. Wish I wasn't late to this thread to let you guys know that if your going to run that high of a rate in the rear, a 5'' spring won't be low enough for you, especially for an early model.

So I don't think anyone officially said. What spring ID are you guys running?

I have Eibach 5" 850lbs, 2" ID. Without the adjuster the car is tucking but rubs big time on 225/45/15

[DJ W]

i have 195/ 65/14 and no rub and little tuck

[chop_suey]

will a 225/50/15 rub on an early model with a 5in 700/750 lb spring? Or should i step up to a 6in spring?
