What spring rates?!
FIRST POST
So ive searched the forum but i couldn't find spring rate recommendations for my car. Im planning to get some BC BR's but i don't know what spring rates to get.
From just reading a couple coilover posts just now i can tell everybody is probably going to tell me to not buy BC's and save up for Xida's, But im on a tight budget. I think the BC's are already to expensive (about a 1000 euro's to get them where i live) but i dont want to get anything lower quality than BC's. If anyone can recommend a better alternative to BC's for the same price its appreciated.
So i own a 99 NB 10AE, planning to go turbo, and would like to do some track days in the future. Its not my daily and i would like to turn it in to a car i can drive on the track but also have it drivable on the street.
Any advice on what brand and spring rates is welcome!

If i were to get xida's it would be 1700 dollars (1450 euro ex shipping) without dual springs and top mounts. Plus i would have to pay about 20% import tax, as i cant seem to find them on a european website. So thats going to be a little too much.
I would have to look in to the 411's, looks like 1400 dollars ex shipping.
Im going to do some research on the DIY bilstein setup tonight as i dont know alot about it. Whats the lowest you can get with a DIY bilstein setup?

I'm running BC BR with 8k 6k Springs. So about 450 350.
I love them, street ride is great, firm but forgiving and not bouncy at all. Track, they perform really well, but not like xidas with 700 springs. When pushed hard, they will bottom out
overall, really nice midrange coils. And way better then fm vmaxxx that I had previously.
one note, they are designed to go low, I actually cranked them as HIGH as possible and it's still a hair too low for my taste. About 11.25 front and 11.75 rear
