i have koni yellows on my R, and im getting ground control coilovers. im wondering what spring rates i should run? i drive it every other day along with driving schools and more track days in the future?

i was thinking 450f 600r?

 

400/500 works well while retaining a decent ride quality.

 

Yeah I have 400F/600R on bils...car roates well, retains drivability on street

so u think 450f/600r would be too much for the front or what? thanks

 

I'm running 400F/500R on my R and I love it. I have Bilsteins and the ride quality isn't much worse than stock. The performance is great on the street, and I';ve only done one autocross with the new set up, but having rotation readily available with the release of the throttle is nice to have.

 

800F/1100R

with koni yellows and ground control
i thought with the yellow u can adjust it on the perch

"Too much" is relative. It all depends on how much you want. You can always play around with sway/strut bars and tire compound and pressure to get the feel you want.

 

so with 600r, whenever i would trail brake it would be somewhat tail happy but not so much as to where i would instantly go into a spin

 

Its not like you're gonna get the car to kick out in teh rear because of the extra 100ft/lbs in the rear. You can play with other settings so its all realtive to your own situation.

Now is that kg or lbs?

I run the Skunk2's on my car and so far it's been good. 1,000kg FR and 800kg rear's I believe. So that's roughly 450lbs front and 350lbs rear. Hope I did the math right. It clunks every now and then. At first I was going to get a set of Koni Yellows, but plans and funding have changed. You think Big Phat R's spring rates are high. LoL!

 

Sorry to bring this back up, but what is the conversion from pounds to K, as far as spring rates go?

 

kg/mm ---&gt; lb/in = x56

 

kg * 55.88 = lbs

lbs * .01771 = kg

 

Thanks yo.

and.... when you see lbs... is that usually lb/in or lb/ft???

 

lb/in

 

Thanks again.

Chris - not as dumb as he was a few mins ago.
