Anybody know what the spring rates are on the NEX SS coilover kit?
Looking to upgrade from what I've got now.
It has been an exceptional kit so far, but now needing something a tad stiffer.

Is there anyway to look at the springs and find out what the spring rate is that way?

This is a pic of what I've got.

 

have you tried to contact the manufacturer?

 

The representative I spoke with didn't know. I guess I could try asking someone else there. Is there anyway to figure it out should they not know?

 

someone else probably manufactures the springs for them.

 

i wouldn't buy anything from a company who doesn't know anything about there own product...

 

how can I determine the spring rate myself?

 

All of the NEX coilovers use a progressive spring rate. Its kinda nice on the street. Not too hard under light load then they get harder under more load. But that combo is bad for the autox track. verry unpredicatble. Look up Golden apple. They are the US distributors for NEX products. I have their number somewhere I will look for it tomorrow. You can always get new springs for the Nex coilovers for pretty cheep.

 

Where can I get new springs for the NEX?
I have not been able to find any? Especially because I don't know about fitment, plus, I want stiffer springs, I cannot be sure I am purchasing a stiffer spring w/o knowing what spring rate I have currently.

 

for starters your Nex springs arent going to more stiffer than 300ish. Some autoxers are running 500-600 or higher springs. Even though your NEX springs are Progressive and sont have a number rateing. They should compare to a 200-300ish spring. Im not talking about performance comparrison, that is more like a driveing down the road smoothness comparrison. You cant really compare linear and progressive springs. To buy new springs for them. Just measure the length and diameter of the spring and go to a spring company and order from them. Ie eibach etc.

 

I think, its gold rate is not fixed and it changes after sometime. You should not buy this till it reach lowest price.
