Killer deal on some nice springs again, Tanabe 210 springs $18 a pair! and helpers in various sizes and rates. I've got several sets and they are pretty consistent, great for fine tuning your setup and a cheap way to try a bunch of different rates. :pimp:

I saw this.. good to hear apositive review... I need some 5" 450#s anyway... wonder what this is in metric
edit: the shortest is 5.9 :(Last edited by Stephen; 09-16-2009, 05:46 PM.

Whoa. Cool.
450lb/in is about 8kg/mm IIRC. That makes 14kg/mm about 790lb/in. Seems about right for a stout front/rear combo, doesn't it?
How long do we typically want our rear springs to be? I don't know any of this crap.paint sucksComment

those springs look like theyd sit horribly when cut :(Comment

Huh.... wonder what size springs my coilovers use... I know the rates, I should prolly know the sizes n stuff
PM me for detailing services in the Longmont / Boulder Area in Colorado!

Yep, and 65mm are probably the only ones you'd want to use.
up front: 6kg would be good for a DD (about 340lb/in, very similar to H&R race)
8kg would be good for track duty (about 450lb/in)
10kg and up (560lb/in) would be good for hardcore track duty
Obviously some prefer super stiff springs, but I'd probably be happy around 6-8kg with some big sway bars. Unfortunately nothing but 4 and 10kg are available in a 6" length or under, and there are no barrel type springs which are nice for the rear.
Shame too, I'd have loved to get a bunch of rates to switch out.paint sucksComment

^ same. A shorter than 6 inch 8kg would be perfectComment

sweet! I'm going to swap my 10ks to the front and run 14ks out back :) 7" is kind of high but I think I can deal with it.
Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!Comment
