Does anyone know what the standard spring rates are on the M35 ARX RS and AXIS?

I have an AXIS and the spring rates are to hard, looking at getting some BC's in a softer rate.

Matt; Talk to member Bigkevracer; I believe he purchased custom rate BC's.

Personally, I don't think you need to go softer than their recommended rates; I'm using a set of BC BR's,with their recommended rates, I don't believe you'd want any softer. They're not what you normally expect from Coilovers.

On minimum damping adjustments; mine is just like a well damped standard M35; no harshness, no jiggling or rattling, but not boat spec either. I'm a bit past crashy, rough, suspension; I couldn't be happier with the way mine is.

Cheers, Dale.

After I put the swaybars in I found my BC's need to be set fairly firm. Dirt roads can be a little annoying now, great on the road though.

Interesting Scotty; I went the opposite way after fitting my Bars, (I run my 30mm front on the stiffest setting).

I actually backed my fronts off to 2 clicks in from full soft, (was on five in) because it became a bit too "darty" in the steering for my liking, and it didn't really have any weight transfer.

Different strokes and all that...

True, Craig drove my car today and felt the rear needed to be lightened a couple of clicks but I like it on the firmer side. Perhaps I should have another play now the castor arms are in.

Probably should get another alignment done when the rear camber bolts get here too.

hows the vq35 swap going? i want a m35 now...

Haha, no cash otherwise it would be done already. Build parts are cheap for the VQ35de in the states but I have a few spare VQ25det's now so no reason to build the VQ35 atm, especially as I havent found the limits of the 2.5 yet.

I would love to drop the 3.5 into a smaller car, say a datto 1600, and make an awd monster. :devil:

Sorry Dale, that was Commsman who purchased custom rate BCs... about 1-2kg softer front and rear. I'm not sure he's driven on the normal springs for comparison though?

I'm with Dale, I don't know why you'd want to go softer. Very happy with mine as is. :thumbsup:

Hey Ryan; sorry about that, I realised a few days later, my brain has the dumb...:cheers:

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
