[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16743113, member: 39344"] Was going through the Fiesta spring rates in the Bilstein B14 kit which arent exactly a huge increase over my Swift Spec R springs. Swifts are 212/212 front/rear and the Bilstein is 280/230 front/rear. I know from the B-spec Fiesta suspension kits they run upward of 450/500 spring rates using the Bilstein coilover kit by just removing the B14 springs and swapping in Eibach 2.5" springs. I emailed Chris Taylor Racing(famous B-spec race shop) about the B-spec Fiesta spring rates, lengths, helper springs and spring collars for my Fiesta ST which has turned into a track day car. They gave me some great information on putting together a b-spec style setup utilizing the dampers and spring perches in the B14 kit i have. So, on order are 2.5" Eibach 500lbs coilover springs along with 2.5" helper springs and 2.5" spring spacing collars. This will really flatten the Fiesta out in corners and add some significant spring rate the car drastically needed. They also advised me to add a big rear sway bar or torsion beam stiffener(which i already have). So, when everything shows up ill swap them onto the B14 kit, set the top hats to max negative camber(-3.0) and complete the install. Huge thanks to Chris Taylor Racing for answering all my questions with great knowledge. Will post when everything comes in. [/QUOTE]
