Racing springs

ChrisRedline · 03-13-2008, 07:23 PM

Any of you guys know were the best place is to get some 10k, or 12k racing springs for the Si. I need rear springs and I'm not having a lot of luck finding anything. If any of you know were I can get some, I'd be very happy to know.

Thanks!

you might wanna try swift springs that you can get at king motorsports. they have various sizes and springs rates available. But. You dont plan on putting 10k and 12k springs on stock shocks right?

I did try swift, and they are in the process of getting springs made now, but nothing available soon. I'll give King a call anyway, It can't hurt to see what they have. Good suggestion, thanks.
I use my own custom valved shocks for my set up.

What sort of custom valved shocks? you can't just throw any spring on there..The perches don't want them...And in LBS would be a big help...

My struts and shocks are made by KW. I have them tuned to run on 8k to 14k spring rates. In Lbs, that's about 450 - 850 lb/in. There are plenty of sized springs for the struts up front. As you may know, the rear springs are what is difficult to find as they are inbound and tapered springs. I do need the correct OEM sized spring for the rear. Only, I need it in about 600bls/in spring rate. That's what I'm looking for....

Could just do a Ground control rear setup and use Linear Eibach springs for a solution..

That's probably the way to go.
I didn't think it was going to be so difficult to find rear springs for this car.
I guess it's still to new.

Thanks for the help...

Will this be a dedicated track setup? Those rates sound kinda brutal for a street ride.

Try kingmotorsports I know they sell a bunch of custom race springs and stuff and have some listed for new si.

Make sure to specify vehicle and it'll come up with a ton of stuff.
