Default Skunk2 440/330....

How will Skunk2 Coilovers that have 440/330 springs ride with AGX shocks on my ek hatch?? im only going to do a "moderate" drop.
i thought the rates sounded a little weird.

thanks
chris

Should ride fine if you adjust them correctly and the drop is 1.5 or less. Wait I take that back. 440 is kind of high and you need to find out what rate those struts can handle. I know for instance that my Tokico Illuminas can handle up to about 400 until they become under dampened. 440 is kind of harsh on the liver for street driving but some people can take it.

Find out what the front to rear weight distribution is on your car, then divide the percentage and the spring rates to find out the spring frequency. Then it shouldn't sound so weird.
