Hey everyone,
Im doing an IRS conversion on my GT vert and I have some quick questions regarding the stock bilsteins. Im putting coilovers on all 4 corners of the vehicle and I was wondering what spring rates these dampers can handle. I've heard some people say that the 03 cobra bilsteins are valved differently than the bilstein hd's and that they can handle a stiffer spring rate coilover spring than the hd's. Is that true? And I'm also going to try to run spring rates of 375/525. Would that be a pretty good setup? Im trying to make sure that either the front or rear is not stiffer/softer than the other. I want my car to feel very neutral in corners and that the rear isnt stiffer than the front or vice versa. If you all could help me here, I would greatly appreciate it. I used the search but didnt find anything really relevent there.
What I'm most interested in is the max spring rate coilovers that the stock dampers can accept. I contacted MM and i have not gotten any answer yet from them, but those are the CO's that Im using, in conjuntion with Bruce's bushing kit.
Any and all help is very much appreciated! :beer:
