Spring rates

[MParallel]

Running true coilover on the rear would be cool, but the rear strut towers would colapse withing a few miles as all the weight of the rear would sit on the topmount, instead of the upper wishbone.

J stocks are actually not that high. My friend just got some and I don't know what I'm allowed to say, but they're nowhere near that stiff.


On my e36 I'm running 750/850
On my e24 I'm running 450/400

whats your spring lengths on your e36 front and rear?
buying suspension soon and i wanna make sure I'll be stanced correctly

thanks

It probably depends on which coilover you have but you'll probably want 5" or 6" springs, no longer than 6". I am running 5" on my car (for the front).

I'm not sure about the rear, but it's easy to go low in the rear.

I run 550f 700r on my e30. Rides decent but I'll probably get shorter springs for the rear and go with 800 or 850 lb instead.

Damn... I don't know what mine are in pounds!
I've been waiting for mine 12 kg/mm/ 10 kg/mm springs to be delivered, but at the moment I've got 9 and 7, which is too soft for my setup.
