LOL I've tested lots of coil springs and best you'll get is +- about 10% from marked value. I used to order 4 or 5 sets and then use our spring tester to find a matching set then send the rest back... This is pretty much independent of vendor by the way.. Eibach and H&R seemed to be the best of the bunch on being what they say, The race springs were usually close than the street springs (By a small bit...) Some cars/drivers like progressive rates, some like linear.. I like Heavy Linear for dry fast tracks and lighter progressive for the wet.

Cheers Dave | So if I were to get a set of say 600 front and rear from Eibach, would I get a 600 front and rear from a different company also? Like swift springs? or would I have to talk to the company about their rates and my car to really figure it out? Thanks for the info! | | | 07-02-2013, 12:31 AM | #18 | Member Join Date: Jan 2013 Location: Felton Posts: 32 | Also, would e30 springs work? The weights, if I recall correctly, are about the same | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
