Re: Neuspeed race springs

[Aaron <zpeed@earthlink.net>]

The H&R Race springs are pretty stiff.  If I remember correctly, they are
~450 in front and 3?? in the rear.  The front is linear and the rear is
progressive I think.  Shine also makes springs and I think you can get just
about any rate you want on them.  Coilovers are nice and if I were to get
some, I would save up my pennies for the H&R's.  I personally don't see
much benefit to them however unless you want to raise and lower your car
all the time or you want to corner weigh them.  Oh, also, the springs are
relatively cheap to change if you want different rates.
