I`m having my new shocks built which will have ride height,bump,rebound and preload adjustment and the spring rate suggested to me was 80kg front and 60kg rear any thoughts on this,i use the car everyday for work with the view to tday it later.
thanks for the reply guys,I`m just wondering if there are different ways of rating /measuring the spring rate,because I have a 75kg spring on my bike which weighs only 280kg with me on it
Thats a good comparision for a different measurement system rating there,for example your 10kg and 7kg springs could be say 7kg to move 1cm were my 60kg could be 60kg to move 10cm??
Not from the shop,direct from the manufacturer. Spring rates don`t seem to have a universal measuring system across the world,this american site Suspension Spring Specialist, Inc. rates in hundreds of pounds,divide that by 2.2 (1kg=2.2lbs) and you similar figures to what I mentioned earlier,just because someone does something oneway doesn`t mean it`s the only way.
