SPRING RATES & DROPS: ALL IN ONE THREAD!!

[WD Pro]

Thank you guys! Was initially looking at the FP and Steeda Dual Rate springs.
Anyone knows the spring rates for the FP ones ?

Got them on my work PC, give us a nudge tomorrow if I forget

Brilliant! Will sure do!

I spoke with the tech-line, Matt I think, he confirmed this is the springs they run on Darios HP Mach,. The video is on youtube.

The Steeda dual-rate front looks pretty good to me, but that is a higher rear rate than I personally prefer. That doesn't mean either one of us is right or wrong; it just means we prefer different setups.

I'm confused. you're running 400 and 220-350 is 'higher' than prefer?

No, I wasn't clear on that.

I think the front is as good as available for a stock-style strut spring. It's the rear I question. I felt like at 950#/in the rear was skipping over the smaller 'chatter' bumps and, when I did overstep the grip, the recovery took quite a while. From that experience, I feel like the 1200#/in would be too stiff. In all fairness, with different dampers, I might be fine with those higher rates, but, with my present lash-up, I don't feel it makes the compromises which I prefer.

Here you go, the info is valid for the FP full Magneride kit (M-9602-M), the FP spring only Magneride kit (M-5300-W) and the FP sway bar only Magneride kit (M-5490-G) :

• Front Springs = 250
• Rear Springs = Non linear 735
• Front Sway = 37.1 mm
• Rear Sway = 25.3 mm

The spring rate info came from this forum and it was measured (thanks to @949Racing ).

The sway bar info also came from this forum and it was measured with a Vernier - assume a very small error due to coating thickness (thanks to @KermiStang ). I assume the sways are hollow, but we don't know wall thickness.

Thanks a ton! Rates at rear are about the same as the HP and quite a bit stiffer at the front but nothing extreme.
I'm mostly taking the car on winding roads and it will rarely see track days which I'd guess makes the FP the better option for me.
I've seen a video of a non HP Mach 1 on Steeda Dual Rates and the drop looked decent enough for me so if a similar result can be achieved with the FP I'd go ahead and give them a try.
I so wish I could at least see pictures of a Mach 1 HP on these before I proceed though.

added to my spreadsheet.

I updated a few items on the spreadsheet that users had commented on. Sorry, I haven't really kept up with the spreadsheet much after I created it, but will periodically check in on it. If anyone else wants permissions to edit it, just PM me.

Spring rates for FR Track Handling Pack?

Spring rates for FR Track Handling Pack?

we *think* it's 245/600.

linear or progressive?
Thanks

Hello I am getting a setup of sve r357 with eibach red sport lowering springs (1.5 drop). Should I get camber bolts or camber plates? It would be a huge help. Front 19 x 10 285/35r/19. +35mm offset

Rear 19 x 11 305/35r/19. +50mm offset

 

[shogun32]

you don't need bolts or plates with 10" wide up front. But if you want more than stock camber, plates is the only sensible way forward.

Thank you cause it seemed like people got camber plates or camber plots to go back to proper alignment.
