Hey Guys, I am finally at the point in my build where I need to decide on suspension components so that I can better dial in my wheel/tire choice, fender flares, etc. I have decided that for what I intend to do, I definitely need to go the coilover route since I plan on doing 9" wide or wider wheels with fender flares, and I can pretty much guarantee I am going to need the adjustability to dial in my height to accommodate.
That being said, my car is a little different being that I have swapped in an m52 with a turbo on it. I imagine that will change the weight bias vs the m20, and even an m20 turbo. I intend the car to be a weekend/track car as it is fully gutted as it stands, partial cage, no a/c. I was considering Fortune Auto coilovers as they seem to be the best of what I can find aside from GC which want an arm and a leg if you want things like caster/camber plates. That being said I am open to anyone's suggestions as to something better.
Knowing all this, what spring rates should I ask for? I don't think the standard rates will be what I want being that my car has a heavier motor with a top mount turbo now, and on top of that the rest of the car is gutted, albeit with a partial cage.
Thoughts on good spring rates?
