How can u tell the spring rate on this?

front 150.64.66
rear 125.64.75

tnx

 

The spring rate is the last two numbers. They are rated in N/mm

multiply by 5.71 to get it in lb/in

66 x 5.71 = 377 lb/in springs
75 x 5.71 = 428 lb/in springs

 

thanks!

 

you got a 5" spring???

 

what do u mean 5" spring?

 

He means that the gc125.64.75 is a 5" spring, which is probably standard in the EP3 kit.

 

so i can use this kit for my ep3?
how low can it go?

im confused

the stock spring rate for ep3 is Stock EP3: Spring Rate: (248 Front/440 Rear)

So ur telling me it's SOFTER @ the rear? why is that?

is this worth GETTING?
IS it COMPATIBLE with KONI's?

Somehow i doubt that those are the stock EP3 spring rates...i could be wrong though, i know dick about that chassis.

They're probably worth getting, whether they're compatible with konis or not depends on whether you've got the right hardware (adapters for koni yellows) or the right koni specific GC sleeve.

 

wheel rates are different for each vehicle. who knows.

thats another reason why i say the simple "stiffer in the rear is better" philosophy is just a ridiculous blanket statement.

anyway, EP3 chassis uses 5" springs. interesting.
