Suspension spring rates


Recommended Posts

Hello, im in the process of rebuilding my suspension again, i have 200 pound springs, koni on the front and spax on the rear, it feels to soft on leans when cornering, i would like to stiffen it with different springs, does anyone surgest any, i would also like to lower it more, does anyone use coil over rear shocks, if so where did you get them from? i'm also thinking of the rimmers uprated roll bars, will they help? Has anyone any ideas? Thanks.

Mine is on -1" 200lb springs all round, poly bushes & Spax adjustables on all 4 corners, standard front a/r bar with anti-dive & no rear one. It doesn't roll

& in the dry is damn hard to make the back step out, even with a mild V8.

I suspect your roll is the bushes moving or the shell is flexing.

Hi, mine is also a mild V8, a 3.5 with 220 bhp. I do have poly bushes all over and 7inch wide, 16inch wheels with fairly sticky tyres, and i have a quaife LSD, the car is quick but i have no confidence in the corners, the LSD made a huge difference but its still horrible, i do drive it very hard.
