JDM springs/shocks - whate rate?

Postby greenMachine » Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:15 pm

OK, before I rip out these JDM RS spec springs/shocks I have on the GM, can anyone tell me:

what rate are the springs?

Will swapping the springs for another rate give me a better ride, or do I have to replace/revalve the shocks too?

Love to hear from someone who has been through this... :wink:

I think the RS springs are the same as the 10AE, which are about 10% stiffer than the regular ones.

The Bilsteins should be able to handle a slightly stiffer spring; you can always revalve if necessary.
