whats 450 and 350 in lbs?

 

hmm...
if you're doing KG per MM to LBs per IN , it's

(x) KG/MM * (2.2/25.4) = y LBs/IN
stick in x, times it by 2.2, divide by 25.4, and you get lbs/in ... if u want to go the other way, take your lbs/in , multiply by 25.4, then divide by 2.2 , and you have kg/mm

thanks..
i got a new set of springs and theyhave 450 written on two of them and 350 on the other..
i supose this is the spring rate in kg mm..
but when i did the converson i got 38.95??
that seems really high??

 

so did they turn out to be in good shape?

 

Nope! Those are lb/in rates on springs. I run 550 lb/in up front, 500 lb/in in the rear of my 89 civic si , it's a CSP autocross car. 450/350 would be a nice stiff but still street worthy combo. I only run 400 lb/in springs in the rear of my 1600 lb crx

 

yep..it turns out he didnt buy them used..he bought them off ebay and he never installed them so they have 0 miles.

4 coilovers for 50$ never used aint bad huh

 

btw thanks for the info rick.
greatly apreciated

 

well, thats pretty cool, If I where you I would still wait to get shocks before putting them on your car.

good dill, you should look up more info on the type of coilovers they are. Learn a little but more about them.

talk to you later

 

i did a google search and looked on the site they came for..nothing.
he said they were rsr..
only thing they say on them is cbw and the spring rate stickers.
i didnt even get a window sticker man..how am i suposted to let people know im cooool.
