First.

-Stock spring rates. What are they front and rear

Second

-What would you want for a spring rate for track days

Third

-What are the stock dampening (non tems) levels of the shocks front / rear?

Last

-Would you guys be willing to buy full race, adjustalbe ride height, aluminum body, coilover race shocks for $200-250 a corner?

I think I heard that the stock springs were around 440lbs. For the track, a coilover with ~900 wouldn't be bad. It depends on the track and the rest of the coilover though...

Full race coilovers for $1000? sounds good to me. Any more info on these?

 

[MDCmotorsports]

They will be made by afco or Carrera.

How would they compare to the Tein SS?

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Blow them away because A.) They are cheaper, B.) they are serviceable here in the states

 

[tubbie]

Teins go for ~$900 shipped on eBay. Are you going to beat that? :rofl:

Ok, I can see the rebuild point, but you can get the SS's for $955. But that doesn't really mater, what I'm curious about is performance and adjustability. I would rather buy from you guys, but for about the same price as the SS's you would also need the adjustability. Basically I'm asking for specs so I can compare (this will be my next upgrade)

And of course Jon announces this now right after I dropped a big pileOcash getting a set of custom Koni's built.......

I don't have any specs yet - I can go from a ZERO to a TWELVE rebound compression, and any where in between. Right now Im thinking about a 10 rebound, 9 bound for the front and rear.

This will be nice and stiff for track days.

For all the others, I can build you what ever you want in terms of rebound / bound.

I NEED TO KNOW SPRING RATES AND REBOUND / BOUND RATES FIRST!

Then I can get the ball rolling on this...

 

[IJ.]

Rebound rates will be proportional to spring rates Jon.

Your 1>12 adjustment may cover a 150 pound spread in spring rates eg: 550/600/650 dpending on how coarse the adjustment is.

This is why I say cutting springs is a bad idea not from any structual point but that it puts you outside the range that the stock valved shock can control.
