Swift Spec-R......5.3kg......5.3kg.......1.3/1.0..........350

 

Someone posted pictures of Tein S-Techs for an Evo X and they were clearly progressives, so the chart is a tad misleading on these. And before you ask, no, I have no idea what the actual rates are.

 

Ok guys I've been slacking over the last year but have learned quite a bit more in my travels when it comes to suspensions. I intend to update the charts and will give some basic suspension tips that will give you a good starting point for setting up a car that can handle turns as well as go in a straight line.

 

Just an FYI, I have the Eibachs and they are lower than advertised I would say ~1.5"F/1.0"R

 

Indeed, when I had those springs they easily dropped the front 1.5" and it was right at the limit of how low you would want to go on the stock shocks.

 

The spring rates posted for our springs is incorrect. They are 300 lbs/in front and rear, which is about 5.55 kg/mm

Wow those are quite a bit stiffer, not sure where I saw the specs before, updated the chart!

 

Side note- is the spring rate chart accurate...i noticed a few of them didn't seem right like the gtworx which my understanding they only drop it .8in F/R and the spring rates are not that stiff either...

Also, does anyone want to sell me their Works springs?

 

to OP can you update your list with Progress spring. Top 2 spring for me GTWORX Tarmac and Progress.

GTWORX Tarmac ............ 5.5 kg ................ 5.5 kg ............. 1.2" / 1.0" ................. $299
Progress ........................ 4.6 kg ............... 4.1 kg .............. 1.2" / 0.8" ................. $190

GTWORX has a higher spring rate but can you fell it obviuosly compare to Progress? Progress is nice for that price.

 

Just added and I also updated info on the Robispec and other KW coilovers out there.

 

Thank you for doing this, Chris!

 

Sup guys, Any info on which springs come with the Tein Monoflex coilovers? Mine are making my teeth hurt since I hit 30 years old lol and I'm going to change the springs in hopes of taking the harshness down a notch.

Also, I found out that if your coil over set up has a camber plate then you have to lubricate the spherical bearing in the center of it or it will wear out eventually causing a horrible knocking/creaking metal on metal sound.

Found this info on Maintenance and cleaning

Talked to Muellerized the other day and they told me their springs have a spring rate of 4.3kg (f)/4.4kg(r) in case the OP wants to update that on the chart

 

Not sure if anyone posted Hotchkis spring info but here it is:

DROP: Front: 1.5" / Rear: 1.0"
SPRING RATES: Front: 195 lb/in. / Rear: 275 lb/in.

 

Info for Cusco Zero-1:

Spring Rates: F: 9kg/mm, 504lb/in R: 8kg/mm, 448b/in
