7/5 spring rates OK for daily driver?

[Toahk]

Im gonna be doing some drifting and auto-x, are 7/5 spring rates ok for a daily driver/weekend warrior? Will these be too stiff for daily driver on some not so great roads. thanks

I don't know how your roads are in NorCal...but they are awful here in Jersey and I'm running 5.0/4.2 rates.

It's doable but I wouldn't really recommend it as a daily driver. I imagine 7/5 is going to be even rougher. If you keep the dampers on a soft setting it may be tolerable.

FLT-A2's ran no problem in SF on my buddy's s14. I think they're the same spring rate as you've listed or maybe a little stiffer and they were fine by me. Just be careful of pot holes though, they'll blow the coilovers pretty quickly if you've got alot of em.

i will be installing the other side of my 7/5 d2s tomorrow and ill let you know how it is.

12/10 daily driven anything less seems to soft now

"12/10 daily driven anything less seems to soft now"

hehe, you sound like me.

harshness is dependnand on the driver and environemnt, on NJ potholed roads, a stiffer spring will feel horrible..down here in GA, on the well maintanted roads, a 10-8 or 12-10 setup may do fine...

Just remember oem springs are around 2.6/2.2 kg/mm for a +-3.5" body roll. You guys are gluttons for punishment.

just got done riding around on my 7/5 d2s and theyre awesome! i have the front set 4 turns in and the rear 3.5 turns in. it hugs pretty good and goes where you point it. its really bumpy going over ****ty roads so i may back both the front and rear out one full turn on the dampers. i like em.

Mine are 5.3/3.7 and I wish they were stiffer (FLT-*** will be had in August) But even at that soft of a spring, 99% of the girls that I have driven around ahve complained. My skinny roommate even said that he felt like he had breasts because how stiff they are. I call em pansies.
