Front and Rear spring ratings

[stephen low]

Thanks Guys for the input.

Trolled a fair part of the Aussie forum too and have about 10 - 11 rates recorded.

Interesting medians as Front 360 lbs and Rear 293lbs.

Will take input from my shock supplier who has supplied a local eminent builder of cobra's here as well for advice.

I too am going double adjustable shockers but after much deliberation decided it is probably a once off purchase so don't spare the lolly and that I buy items that can be rebuilt and revalved.

Finally had three brands in my sights as Penske, Bilstein and Koni and I am committing to the Koni's. My suspension provider has already taken a raft of measurements and the plan is for a compliant car with well sorted handling for the street and the capability to be tweaked for the very occasional track use.

I know it will be chalk and cheese in handling compared to the current set up and along with new Vintage rims to ditch the square wheels I am currently running she should be a totally different handling beast.

Thanks again for the input.

I trust you're planning to have the setup properly corner-weighted.
