R34 Suspension Question

[Deathvalley]

is 12 front 10 rear spring rates too bad for a 4 door sedan?

what are the pros and cons?

i am mostly a daily driver the coilover has 24 height adjustement but i am wondering is it a bad thing to buy springs that are so hard?

Rock hard. Massively, incredibly, rock hard. Will suck. Will suck the big one. Will suck the big HARD one.

Street car = 6/4 or maybe 7/5. Even that is a solid, solid ride that doesn't work well on large bumps at low speeds. Those sorts of spring rates (and the accompanying damper rates) are suited to smoothing out high frequency, high speed bumps. 12/10 is smooth racetrack territory.

so basically i will be really feeling the bumps.i thought it was 10/8 but the stupid people send me the 12/10 ones.

it has 24 level damper setting will that help in any way?

at least the handeling wouldnt be shit would it?

[GTSBoy]

No, 24 damper adjustment steps won't help at all. You cannot soften dampers to compensate for springs which are too stiff. You have to make teh dampers more firm in order to have them control the motion of the springs.

i put them on today.

how do i adjust the dampers?

i currently have them at 0 clicks.

shud i increase the clicks for beter ride?or keep them at 0?

[GTSBoy]

What do you mean "how do I adjust the dampers?". If you know you have them on zero clicks, then you know what you have to turn to make the be on different "clicks". It's a knob, or it's a hex socket you need to turn with an Allen key, or something like one of those.

well i figured it out. 0= normal driving. 24= harcore track.

in 0 the shocks are not that bad.

pretty similiar to front 10 rear 8.i had on my dc5.

thnxx for ur help btw.

i got the coilover brand new for 750 shipped. i wudnt have gone for such rate if it wasnt that cheap.
