spring ?

Post by **tex240** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 6:57 pm

i have been looking for a set of springs to upgrade too. i really dont care about drop or ride comfort. i am looking for the best handling spring for autox. i wish i had the money for coilovers but i a poor white highschool kid. i am considering the tanabe gf210 grip feels or sportlines or equivelint. any imput would be great thanks

( and a searched too sorry if it is a repetitive question)

there is a huge amount of detail in these forums about what springs drivers have been pairing with the agx's. start with the stickies, then try a search

You want a linear rate spring.

Tanabe Grip FeelingSuspension Techniquesand if you really want stiff stand alone springs, RSR race or kg/mm...

kg/mm baby.

why would the linear handle better.

Progressive rate springs are made for street cars...they retain comfort and only reach their stiffer rate when they are being pushed hard...

but can you find linear rates that are lower than the beginning of a progressive's rate? thus, the linear is more a street spring?

so a good linear like a whiteline or tanabe will handle better for autox but be harsher on the street

can you post a picture for me sometime

Post by **WongFeiHung** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 6:57 pm

****ty picture, will take some more tomorrow...The springs will probably settle a bit lower...Listed at about 1.3" drop, perfect drop to me...

Tanabe GF w/ KYB AGX set at 2/4Even though they are linear rate, not at all a harsh ride, comfortably firm, I do have adj tension rods, so I feel sharp bumps a bit more. No nosediving during braking and stays even during acceleration...
