Spring Rates...

Post by BannisteR »

Ive got a set of PIC select R3's and currently have the 12k 14k spring rates on them. I love the coilovers but are not that suitable for the street. I was wondering what spring rates you guys suggest. I was looking into Eibach springs but they run in lbs. I was thinking of getting a 6k or 8k or possible 8k to 10k. What are spring rates in lbs that are equal to around those rates? Thank you in advance- Andrew

6k = 336 lbs/in
8k = 448 lbs/in
10 = 560 lbs/in
