Re: DRM Coil Overs
I went too stiff on my coil overs, I think I have 425 front 300 rear
what do you think a "reasonable" spring rate setup is for street driven 95 zr1
like to get the "cushy" ride of the stock springs but the improved handling of the coil overs I'm thinking 375 front, 275 rear would be about right.
also upgrading to the 95 shocks so I will be machining the grooves and letting you all know. I'll have a stock set of 91 shocks, grooves machined and the actuators ready to sell and I'll be cutting a deal on them to help someone out wanting to go coil over
I won't rape folks on the acuators or shocks. I might have a bad controller box as mine all "time out" all the way around. going down to SGC next week so I'll try and find out what's bad.
thanks for any input! I agree totally that coil overs are the bomb
what do you all think about shock tower reinforcing? when I talked to to dave m about it he said the stock towers are PLENTY strong as the loads dished out from the shocks are the majority and that even though they look thin, it's pretty strong stuff. the callaway guys like to reinforce them, and oddly enough, they don't do coil overs on the c6 hmmmm.....
like to get smarter on setting them up and tuning the "corner weighting" I guess each shock is pre loaded just a bit according to the weight on that corner of the car to get the car to handle better.
no doubt that tuning with the coil overs is great stuff! thanks
