I know this might be better suited for the auto-x forum but I would hope that you guys know also. Does anyone know the spring rates on GC's coilovers (sleeve and spring style) for an EG hatch?

 

I think its 250 front 180 rear, but you can get whatever spring rate you want with these.

 

Whatever you want. You can order them with any spring rate.

What he said...

 

I think the "Off the shelf" system that local stores would have in stock should be 350F/250R or 300F/250R. If you special order them through your local shop, or off GC's website, you can specify your own personal rate.

Off-the-shelf rates are 350f/250r.

As mentioned though, you can request any rates you want from Ground Control at no extra charge when you order your coilovers. They use Eibach ERS springs, which come in 25 lbs-in increments IIRC.

My off the shelf rates are 330f/250r.

 

Thanks for all the replies. I was just wondering as I already have the off the shelf units on my car (there when I bought them). Have a happy holiday everyone.

 

Along these lines, I recently bough GC's for my EG...they were used when I bought them, so how would I tell what the spring rates are on them? Would it say somewhere? I know, sort of a newb question

 

The parts number is on the spring. Post it and we`ll tell you what the rate is.

 

yeah, there are 3 numbers on the spring, one is the diameter (should be 250) one is the rate (mine are 400lb fr and 500lb rear) and the next is the length (mine are 700 and 800)

Close...

First number: Free length

Second number: I.D of spring

Third number: Working rate of spring

Example: 0800.0250.0450

An 8" long spring with a 2.5" I.D. with a rate of 450#

I personally like Hypercoils. More consistent with the rates.

 

yeah, that's what I meant, just forgot what order they came in...

 

Hmm, aight cool I'll take a look and see what I have. Thanks
