i just purchased a set of Apexi N1 Type V Dampers for my car and i was wondering what the spring rates for the front and rear are. Before some jerk yells "search" at me i want you guys to kno i did run several, but could not find this data. I'm looking for info on the 2000 spec N1's. Thanks

 

bumpity bump bump...

 

are there #'s on the springs?? they are probobly in kg/mm...they should look like this.


EDIT: holy chit the pic is HUGE sorry

I'm sure apex'i isn't Identical to my GC's but heres a recent thread created by myself where I had the same ?

I found the answer to my problem listed above from Tyson..

here is the coilover FAQ written by him.

hope this helps..

 

hmm thanks. i looked up the front and rear spring rates in the japanese manual and it says 16kgf/mm front and 6kbf/mm rear. the conversion says that im running 900f/400r. will this destroy my chassis if i use this car for daily driving?

wow, that front rate seems amazingly high...that would contribute to some serious understeer..you sure you got the front rate converted correctly?

 

im pretty sure its right. the front springs are 1184kg/74mm which is 2610lbs/2.9in which simplifies to 16kg/mm or 900lbs/in.

jeez, maybe you should consider putting those in the rear...that would make your car more neutral, if not oversteer quite a bit.

Are they installed yet? if so how does your car behave?

 

even though the front is really stiff i don't have understeer problems really. i installed them yesterday and the car handles like a dream. i want to get them corner balanced but no $ yet...
