Spring rate, anyone?

I'm looking for a proper spring rate for my RPS13. Any suggestions?

I plan to use KYB AGX... is a spring rate 450 front / 350 rear too high? If there's better combination of shocks/struts & springs, please let me know.

I will use the suspension mostly on the street, and sometimes drifting.

Thanks a lot! =)

yo, sup man. Glad to see ya again. ^^

I checked out the whiteline. they low the car about 1.6in. while H&R lowers about 1.3in. Do you think H&R will be better in this case? I definately don't want my car to become a snow shovel in winter.

By the way, have you got my email?

OUCH... ***-kissing hurts... u're not injured, r u?

I'm working for Fido in both West Ed & Millwoods Town Center, and as a financial service agent for World Financial Group (both part-time) while staying full-time in U, so pretty much occupied in weekdays. Maybe we can meet on weekends.

Or I can meet u when u work in Canadian Tire since my car needs a tranny service & fuel system cleaning. R u a mechanic there? Cuz it seems u r knowledgable in cars.

Also, I think I'll just wait til I go back to Vancouver, BC to get my parts. I'm there every summer to see my friends, so maybe pay PDM a visit at the same time. U know I'm talking about a few hundred $ saving on shipping.

So save up to get a 240. Maybe we can combine our order on PDM to get more savings next summer.

Cheers.

Ps send me a mail: kcnoir@yahoo.com.tw

Hi Nunook.

Just go to eBay and email a seller who sells DropZone to ask for spring rates. I just searched with words "Nissan 240sx coil over" and they came out. Make sure you search with "in titles and descriptions" option.

Email more sellers for faster result... or call some shops directly. If they carry it, they should know. (Otherwise I won't buy... )
