Please do me a huge favor and tell me the numbers on the front springs and rear springs.

it should be 2 numbers xxx-xxx something like 140-140 or 150-170.

The first number is the rate in n/mm and the second number is the length of the spring in mm.

I'm just trying to figure out what length of spring is correct (according to KW) for the front and rear on the KW V3s for an Evo 8/9.

I wish I could man. Currently deployed though You can probably call up KW and they would be able to give you some numbers?

Or if not MAYBE Titan Motorsports would have a record from when they did the install for me.

I got the numbers I needed. I also didn't realize this was an Evo X thread so the info might have been invalid for me anyway.

The rear "default" springs are 170mm (for the Evo 8/9). The default springs are also relatively soft.

But my current rear springs are way harder and still 170mm which makes them too tall because they don't compress enough to get the car as low as I want. No problem - I'll just have to buy a shorter spring.

Thanks.

How is everyone coping with making rear rebound adjustments?

Cut off a set of 2 mm allen keys and stuck them in with blue lock tite. Also tied a small storing to them anchored to the car in case they slip out (they haven't in 3 yrs).

Ohlins would be your final suspension mod. Best of the best. But comes with a pretty price tag.

Well Cloud9. I have to disagree. But because it comes down to my needs. For the $2k price tag that was within my budget, I was able to get something that is super comfortable for the street, and super aggressive when I need.

I really appreciate everyone who replied with the Spring Rates. I can't get on here very often. Just to reference them again. They are F8k/R9k

Since the install I've done a couple rotations back to the states and I will say that I am completely satisfied. My car has actually hit a point where I can say I'm "done" with it. It meets all my wants and "needs". And, I regret to admit it out loud, but it might end up for sale if my contract doesn't ge renewed in May.
