91GranSport Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 I checked out Fast FWD Performance's coilover kit and it mentioned that they have spring rates available in #225 up to #400 in #25 increments. Now what do these numbers mean? I'm guessing the higher or lower the number, the stiffer the spring but I can be wrong. I just wanted to clarify that with anyone who has knowledge about these things.

weisinator Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 If I'm not mistaken, #225 means 225 pounds of force is required to compress the spring one inch (pounds/inch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor77 Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 You are correct in saying that it takes 225lbs to compress 1 in. That being said, the higher you go in lbs, the stiffer the ride is going to be. If you talk to them on the phone, they will tell you that the 250lbs springs sell the most.

GnatGoSplat Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 If you get part numbers and suppliers for all that stuff, let me know. Maybe we need a "W-body store". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musthavemuzk Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 If you get part numbers and suppliers for all that stuff, let me know. Maybe we need a "W-body store". mayb not a store as that takes alot of resources. how about a resource for alot of this info. like you already have for the digidash swap. a project page with all the info needed.
