hey guys

im asking this question for my friend. he has a 95 del sol and the car came with skunk2 coilovers with tokico illumnias. my question is we took a look at the coilovers and the front and rear springs have the same spring rate (reads: 0700.250.006) could this be a problem with the cars handeling and ride comfort?

thanks

 

250 is the rate I believe...which is really soft.

Yes, that will contribute to not so great handling and a bouncier ride

 

what if my friend made his shocks a little more stiffer would that make the car less bouncirer?

thanks for the relpy

yeah, what shocks does he have??

deffinately needs to upgrade

 

They're illuminas...stiffen those up, but 250s are really soft...

 

thanks for the replys guys...

 

0700.250.006

i am 90% sure that designates a 7inch spring, 2.5" diameter, 6kg-mm spring.
the codes on my eg springs are 0700.2.50.006 and 0700.2.50.008. the 008's are a tad taller, about .2".

6kg/mm = 336lb/in, 8kg/mm = 448 lbs/in.

the springs for dc are 0700.2.50.010.

10kg/mm = 560lbs. this correlates with the springrates of 10k/8k which the integra is supposed to have. (560/448)
