Spring rates is always an interesting topic... Traditionally Japanese coilovers for most cars have 2kg difference front to rear. Not always, but usually. Ie 8/6 6/4, 12/10, etc..
I personally wouldn't go stiff there 6kg front or rear on this car. The 6/5 is a pretty good idea. A few kits also seem to be 5/5. Which would be good.
The thing to remember though is that this car has 10% stiffer REAR springs than the front. ie 3/3.3kg. So if you want to keep similar handling characteristics to stock, maybe go something like 5/5.5. That's what I was hoping for :) |
