Yeah...Wasn't just gonna give these up to him...

meeks · 10-16-2008, 02:28 PM

im planning to do the redshift konis (yellow single adjustable). hmm.. i need springs that have good amt of spring rate.

8kg upfront and 10-12kg to the rear. any suggestions?

***jrotax101*** · 10-16-2008, 02:59 PM

that may be overkill unless you track a lot. PM highrev

***Sirbelch*** · 10-16-2008, 09:48 PM

Over kill? I run 9/10 f/r right now. Its a hoot on the streets. If you don't mind a rough ride, 8/12 would be great. Ill run 9/17.5 on the Redshift DA's.

Highrev1 · 10-16-2008, 10:06 PM

Pounds, Guys? Otherwise were gonna need to overnight parts from Japan..

***Sirbelch*** · 10-16-2008, 11:22 PM

I just did the conversion so he could understand where I was coming from. 9/17.5 kg/mm ~ 500/900 lbs/in. Happy? 8/12 kg/mm would be 447.8/671.8 lbs/in. Where are you math skills yo?

meeks · 10-16-2008, 11:56 PM

haha thanks for the response guys.

so theres no locally available springs that has at least 9kg front and 10 rear?
all the ots springs i see and i did a lot of searching here on the ocho are like 200lbs+ at max.

i hate my current set-up right now. yep. tein s-techs.. lesson learned.

***jrotax101*** · 10-17-2008, 12:47 AM

eibach ERS springs would be cool.. or hyperco if redshift chose to use them..

yes, overkill on the street. If you're not gonna track the car, why lose a kidney after 6 months.

I'm fine with a 1000lb spring on the street, but others may not be.

holy shit...i thought i was hardcore with 12/10 kg in my skunk2 pro-s ....

I thought skunk2 did come through with the 1000 #ers.

Because there are so many great on ramps out there. Got to get up to speed some how. I don't have an S/C for the power so I got to get up to speed where I can. Can't merge onto the freeway at less of the flow of trafic.

***jrotax101*** · 10-17-2008, 01:15 AM

skunk2 ****** up and failed with the 1000lb rear springs.. never heard anything so i gave up trying.

I've ridden in a car with 1000lb springs though, and it's fine for me. Didn't say it was my car

paolo2k2 · 10-17-2008, 03:49 AM

You know your suspension is getting close to perfect for track duties when your GF complains she has to wear a sports bra when ever she rides in your car - been there - done that - have the T-shirt

***jrotax101*** · 10-17-2008, 09:40 AM

they make road trips even better too.. added in car entertainment over bumps. just don't let her catch you watching them bounce

That's nuts. I think my suspension uses 175/163 lbs/in lol.

paolo2k2 · 10-17-2008, 02:31 PM

lawl...she says she never wants to ride in my car again

***Sirbelch*** · 10-17-2008, 02:51 PM

My girl doesn't mind the current ride. Doesn't get scared in the corners but I still can't bomb a twisty road with her in the car because she gets car sick. On ramps are about as long as she can take it before she gets sick.

But I have man-boobs, it's always a party when the Konis are turned up.
