Whats M35 Stagea Spring Oem Rate's

[BoostdR]

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.

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.

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.

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