Default My new suspension!

Here's my new suspension. Front and rear adjustable koni's. In the front I'm going to use Eibach Pro-Kit springs (301 lbs/in or 331 lbs/in, does anyone know for sure?) and Ground Control's in the rear (330 lbs/in). Hopefully this will help with understeer. Let me know any comments good or bad.

interesting to see coil-overs mixed with springs...

Usually guys run stiffer springs in the rear.

Yes that's my goal too. That's why I got the coilovers in the rear. Im pretty sure the pro-kit is 301 lbs/in. This is my first time running koni's, and i hope they will be better then the blistein/tokico combo i was going to use ( which are for sale in the classified section btw )

450 up front and 600 in the rear with no front sway bar has my racecar balanced out VERY well. I'd say it's neutral with 5-10% oversteer. I can make it do anything I want.

Some of my competitors are running 600 up front and 900 in the rear.

Kool setup. I went with Tokico blue's and ground control coil-overs, pretty good combo IMO.

Oh I should’ve mentioned this set-up was done on a budget. Everything was around $200.

"301 lbs/in or 331 lbs/in, does anyone know for sure?"


What are the numers and stuff written on the springs? You can look them up on web sties to detwrmine what rates they are.

You won't have a problem running that spring rate in the front. My daily driver has 400f and 450r and it rotates very easily with the help of the beefy sway bar. But it all depends on what kind of racing your trying to do.
If the car doesn't rotate enough for you turn up the stiffness on the koni's or get a bigger rear sway bar. But don't drive around on full stiff or around that on the street or you will be catching air and getting your shocks revalved faster then you want to.
