Coilover Spring Rates

Post by DarKane »

Hello I am converting the front to coilover setup, i got spax adjustable shocks, adjustable top mounts from compbrake, and coilover weld on kit. I want to buy the springs from CoilSprings.co.uk and I need to provide the length,internal diameter and poundage. I am using the car for hard street driving and occasionally track. I have a 2.0l xe engine turbo...any info on what you guys use? thank you !

Ideally you need to find measure the corner weight of each corner.
Also need to measure the unsprung rate. There is much info and calculators online
Really depends on the engine you are using
