Equal rate front and rear springs
does anyone make springs that are the same stiffnes front and rear? I know the factory ITR springs are 250/250 but thats still a little on the soft side

Re: Equal rate front and rear springs (tilt)
I am curious...
Why would one want equal rates?
The front definately weighs more than the rear (60/40 balance) so why would you want the front so soft? You LIKE understeer?
Also, I can tell you ITR does NOT have equal rates front and rear.

Re: Equal rate front and rear springs (Chris)
equal rate front to rear would provide for a more neutral vehicle correct? true the ITR technically does not have equal rates with the rear being a progressive rate from 150-250

Re: Equal rate front and rear springs (JeremyL)
I agree w/ Chris.. why would you want equal rates because the front of the car (w/ the motor) is heavier than the back and also the weight distribution/balance of that setup would be kind of odd.... I think it would handle kind of wierd w/ equal front and rear spring rates... I guess if you still want them.. you can have the GC (Eibach ERS) springs made that way...
