Hi
I have a question about the spring rates on my car.
l own a r33 gtst and it feels like l'm in the flintstones car, it is that stiff l dont like driving it,
l called whiteline and they said they could make some springs up for me, however l'm not too sure on the spring rate to give them. l was advised at 6kg for front and 4 kg for the rear. Can anyone give me a comparison as to what 6/kg 4/kg would feel like? (not so smoothe roads still feel heaps bumpy??)
After driving my car for the past few months l am really sick of it.
what is the best rate for me?
I am just driving it to and from work, l dont race it ( i'll still have these coils to changeover if l ever want to), rarley thrash it. l just want more comfort over potholes and dips in roads. (right now reflector's on the road feel like potholes, and potholes feel like l'm driving on a cattle grid.)
l am about to measure the springs now to give to Whiteline. They want to know the inside diameter of the spring and the spring height.
and my last question is ( if l can explain myself properly)
When l give these dimensions to them will factor in the softer rate that l want and give me a longer spring to compensate the "squish" ( l'm sure thats not the correct terminology) or compression its going to be under?
l have JIC coilovers, and there yellow( l dont know if they colour code their shocks just a bit of FYI)
Sorry for the longass post and for any one that has read this far and those that reply, thanks in advance.
