Dave, checked mine yesterday.. they are tapered.. and way too hard lol

from memory they are the 12kg ones from the website.

might rip them out and do the measurements to see what rate they really are.

unless the have a part number on the spring.

8kg/mm front

7kg/mm rear

The 450 lbs per inch front is almost circuit racing suitable, still a bit high though.

The 400 lbs per inch rear is going to limit the traction somewhat, about half that is more like it.

My suggestion for a cheap fix would be to put the rear springs in the front and buy a pair of 250 lbs per inch (4.5 kg/mm) springs for the rear.

:yes: cheers :)

id need to get the dampers rebuilt to suit as they are on the limit for fast street on the bump settings(ie bottoms out)

but working for a v8 supercar team :D ive learnt that its all in the damper itsself. you can get away with a lower spring rate if the damper can adsorb it for you. just turn up the high speed bump a couple of clicks.... but with our run o the muck shit we need hevier springs to stop the botoming out.

corect me if im wrong but thats my undestanding of it anyway

yeah the number is painted on the bottom of the spring where it sits on the lower mount.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
