How are these spring rates...Skunk2 Coilovers (500f/400r)

 

How are they compared to what? 500f/400r are relatively stiff.... Remember to match it up with shocks that can handle those rates

 

well i'm on H&R sports and stock shocks right now. so i guess compared to that.

 

Its going to be considerably stiffer. If you want these for the street, IMO their overkill.

 

According to most sources the H&R Sport springs are 276 lb/in all around, so you make the comparison.

How is that overkill? Maybe he wants a stiff ride on the streets. IMO, that is still not even that stiff.

 

What do you want the springs for? That should dictate the spring rates for your ride.

What's rich dad poor dad?

 

they're 10Kf/8Kr which translate to around 500f/400r.
I have mine on KYB w/ AGX's set on the 3rd stiffest stetting. I was expecting a really harsh ride, but it turned out to be very bearable. I love the ride! You'll really feel the road, but very it's bearable. IMO it is nowhere near overkill.

 

That would be 559f, 448r.

correct!

 

it would be used just for my daily driver. i don't race or track or anything.

 

Why do you want coilovers then, why not just springs?

i dunno. cuz i found some cheap ones. and i can adjust the height if i wanted to or something. well i'm on h&r sports and i wanted to be a lil lower

 

What shocks are you going to be using?

well still on stocks rite now but if i'm going lower, i need new ones. not sure which ones.

 

I'd say since you are not about track racing or anything like that, just get the KYB AGX. I had those, and they were nice for daily driving.

I see, I didn't know that. I just like that quote.

 

My car is a daily driver and the AGXs suit me fine. It's nice to have adjustability with coilovers, but i doubt you will adjust them that often. I decided to get coilovers because it had a really good deal on them and from past experiences, just having the option of raising or lowering the car wouldnt hurt.
