Tein coilovers
Hey guys, I have tein coil overs on the car, and I would like to change the springs. Is anyone familiar with the spring dimensions? I haven't gotten them off just yet, but I would like to get the new springs ordered. The interwebz tells me they are a 70mm (2 3/4") ID which seems really large to me, that's why I don't know if that information is correct. If that is correct, can I get away with a smaller, more available spring ID?

From all the research i did i came up with the same thing. 70mm x 175mm long. If i recall swift springs had the best replacement for the money. also fab 9 sells some

70MM ID is correct.
I replaced my rear springs with Tanabe Sustec PRO210 Performance Coil Spring 70mm / 6kg / 170mm to fix the out-of-the-box coil bind I was having. Just the same rate but taller springs. was an awesome $30 fix (were on an awesome sale at the time). this place has them: https://www.shop.upgrademotoring.com...ec+PRO210+70mm I got mine from here: https://www.more-japan.com/ |
What spring rate are you moving to?
I was going to move the stock 7kg tein springs to the rear then replace the fronts with Z70-178-120 12kg swift springs. 672/420lbs respectively. But I never followed through because im on the fence of if it is worth it or not. |

I think you'd probably want to weigh your car and see how much weight you have where and then try to figure out the rates?
I'm thinking 550/350 is probably a bit soft for that monster. |
^ I agree with the above being too soft.

I scaled the car over the weekend, total without a hardtop and 5 gallons of fuel was 2327lbs without me in it. Picture of corner weights, this was with no springs in the car to get a true reading of the corners. I'm thinking of moving the fronts to the back, then up the front to 650 or so. I have a week to make up my mind, April 7th is upon us lol |
You and I are about the same weight and the only aero I have is the bfw spoiler and diy splitter I think the 12k (650) would be really good based on my searching. Try it and report back!
