got my gcs a few days ago... i ordered the OTS gc's to accomodate tokico blues for my 92 lude... all 4 springs tho have the same spring rate of 67 (im guessing that is in metric terms)... and if im correct, that translates into english lingo as 382 lbs... for OTS spring rated gc's though, shouldnt the fronts have a higher spring rate then the rears instead of equal on all 4... whats goin on?

from what i read, having a higher spring rate for the rear (in this case being equal to the front instead of less then, just as how it should be for ots rates) would in fact incrase better grip and less under/oversteer... would i be correct in thinking so?

either way... having all 4 in equal spring rates would indeed be a little bit sportier handling wise then having a smaller spring rate in rear and larger in front right? ... so its a win win situation for me if im ignoring the fact of ride comfort right? thanx guys

Increasing the rear spring rates will increase oversteer. On my lude, this was a great improvement. I have 475 R / 450 F.

So I say YES...its a win win for you
