Advisable GC springrates for a canyon carver...

[K-Swiss]

Your a waste of space on the interwebz Heeter. Now GTFO of my thread or BAN!

Let's hope he does. And i doubt it.

Spring rates are fine. Raise the car and let the suspension actually work - n00b. You are riding on bumpstops: that is why it is harsh.

Sell me your adjusters when you wreck it.

good. I plan to collect in 365 days.

I'll take ur $10 bet, now kindly piss off.

He's not going to dump it off a guard rail, he's not a shit head like 99% of the other r3v'ers. now answer the question.

and hopefully, for my sake, Abe won't be the last to eat their words after they r3v. Keep it up, I'm trying to put $10 that you will total it within a year.

The difference between me and the rest of these dubber converts is that I have restraint and I have taken some drivers education. I know my limits and i'm not reckless. Shits happens however theres nothing wrong with enjoying a road for its twists and turns. I bet even you have done it. That being said stop shitting in my thread and I hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch.

Your an ass clown. Theres nothing wrong with going out and enjoying a few curves. Why would anybody build a car they can't enjoy everyday? Why do you feel so certain I'm going to ball up my e30? Sorry buddy, Countless BMW owners do it every year. Its all about restraint. You don't go flying down some road that you know there could be gravel on the shoulders 10/10ths.

Only thing I know is I'm right in the middle of full stiff/ full soft(equal turns from either setting). I'm not sure on the length of the shocks. However I think they might be too long. I bought the car and it was built like this.... However the spring perches are extremly low. I just cranked the car up a bit and before I did it I could move the spring up and down a inch before it touched the perch.

don't go softer then what you have right now. if you think that is still then either something else is the issue or your just never going to like a stiff car.

are you koni's set to full stiff or close to full stiff? what do your bumpstops look like? do you have standard length, or shortened front struts.

I run a 450/650 setup and its stiff since my car is gutted and light. in a full interior e30 m3 it feels like perfect.

Thanks for assuming I don't know what to drive either. Oh my gosh a guy that wants to modify his car for performance? Not just looks? That must be completly foreign to you guys...

You do not know what to drive. Clearly to anyone who is more intelligent than you, carving canyons is not a wise decision. People who want to modify for performance and put it to use go to tracks, not recklessly driving on the street.

Go carve a new facade in a canyon with your soon-to-be crumpled up r3v'ed E30.
I'll laugh about it and say I told you so if you survive. I'll just laugh if you don't.

[K-Swiss]

Right now I'm just in the middle. So somewhere between full soft and full hard.

[jlevie]

What do you have the Koni's set to? With those spring rates I'd guess that 1 turn from full soft would be a good starting point.

The Koni SA's are only adjustable for rebound damping. If set to stiff for the springs the shocks won't be re-extending in a normal fashion when traversing uneven or rough surfaces. So you loose spring travel and may run into the bump stops. Just enough rebound damping to prevent wheel oscillation over rough surfaces is the sweet spot.

What does that have to do with anything?

Thanks for actually making a worthy contribution:up::wgaf:

Who cares?

You're going to go too quick around a corner, going to understeer and slam into a guardrail, or even better plunge off a cliff, so either will be a vegetable or riding around in a POS civic... so then your rates won't really matter much anymore.
