Hello all,
Recently purchased a set of custom made coilovers from a company here in Australia, the spring rate they sent me is 9kg/mm (500lb/in) front and 10kg/mm (560lb/in) rear (I did ask to be set up for roll racing / drag racing). I've had to add 50mm pre-load to get the rear wheels to sit out of the wheel well, I can't get the fronts to sit right with 0 preload. The car drives well, it knocked 0.5sec off 0-100km/h however it does have some lift off oversteer which is a little un-nerving. I have run the company and asked and they have said they have set up a few Mustangs with this set up. It's $50 for new springs so I'm thinking of going a 5kg/mm (280lb/in) front and 14kg/mm (784lb/in) rear which is their heaviest spring. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
