Just curious if this suspension is streetable.

 

Which spring rates do you plan to run?

 

What are the spring rates that come with the sus? Streetable = not having to put a 3" lift on the R.

 

I believe you have to purchase springs separately with the N-Zero kit.

The spring rates will play the biggest factor in determining ride quality, which is what I'm guessing most people base "streetability" on.

 

you just get the dampers - springs are extra

 

How about the rates F18k R16K. Can any spring be used?

 

damn that is stiff!!! i'd like to know if those spring rates are streetable as well.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Dan &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">How about the rates F18k R16K. Can any spring be used?</TD></TR></TABLE>

Any spring with the proper diameter will work.

It is a matter of what you deem streetable.

I'd daily drive a car with 18k/16k but would most people say "it's too stiff"? Probably.

 

I had 18/16 on my car and it wasn't very fun (Spoon showa dampers)

I guess it depends on where you live and how good/bad the roads are. Personally I couldn't see myself riding on a set of springs stiffer than 14/12 and that's pushing it for where I have to drive.

If I lived in a smoother part of the city....hell....20/18 all the way!!!

 

Thanks.

Roads on Macadamia Island must be smooth as glass

 

would I be able to run the N1 springs on the NZ dampers? F8K R6K

 

I guess yo may have to call Mugen/Kings to see what is the max springs rate this N-Z damper can handle. I guess they should have some recommand springs rate for you.

I'm using F12K, R8K, it is streetable for me but I will not go any higher cuz the road here is bad.

 

If the mugen N1 springs are what you are referring to, I don't think they come in such soft spring rates.

 

Yes the are street worthy. I run them on my R. The max rate for the NZ is a 1000in/lb. The Mugen Dampers use a 2.5" diameter spring. I'm running 7" springs in front and 8" springs in the rear. 500in/lb and 630in/lb respectivley.

My first track event on these was the Expo and I was extremely impressed.

Have you tried running the 8kg/mm (448lb/in) springs in the front and the 12kg/mm (672lb/in) springs in the back? That would make a great track worthy setup. You'll get good rotation out of it...late

I know what you mean.....but the road here is pretty bad and I don't think it will be safe to drive around with that set up. Btw....I already have some "overdamping" in the rear when I drive thru some even surface, it will get more worst if I put the 12K spring to the back.

anyway thanks for your suggestion
