Spring Rates
I only did a quick search and found nothing so this thread is to list the spring rates for stock and aftermarket lowering springs. No coilovers since the rates are not the same (unless you want to include them, just know it's not apples to apples with a regular spring).
V8 Stock Fronts Stock Rears Pfadt Fronts 225 Pfadt Rears 425 BMR Front (1") 220 BMR Rear (1") 460 BMR Front (1.4) BMR Rear (1.4) Pedder Front Pedder Rear Convertible Specific Hotchkis Front (1") 210 Hotchkis Rears (1") 440 Coilovers KW Coilovers FRONT 285 REAR Progressive ST Coilovers FRONT 285 REAR Progressive etc.... of course I don't have any of the info, which is why I started this thread. If you are a vendor/manufacturer and have the info for your springs, please post up so I can create an informative condensed post. Thanks. Last edited by Higgs Boson; 07-13-2012 at 02:14 PM. |
