im gonna get KONIs w/ vogtland springs installed soon and since the rear isnt externally adjustable, id like to get the rear dampening as close to perfect as possible.

from what the vogtland rep said, the springs are about 80% stiffer then stock. i think he said that the rear spring rate was 279lbs/in. any recommended dampener settings?

What is perfect..... You never said what you were going to do with the car... Those spring rates don't sound right for being 80% stiffer.

 

i wanna make it track ready. ill most likely be running it at streets of willow, willow springs and fontana speedway if they still allow it (heard a few rumors about that place).

i might be wrong on the sring rate but thats what i could have swore he told me. my main goal is to have it stiff enough so that im not boucing around in the car but not too stiff were i start to get negative effects.

vogtland is a company. they "supposedly" supply springs to 80% of the teams in nascar. the also make springs for f1 teams.

well, i called vogland again today and spoke to another rep. strangly enouph, i got a completely different story then from the first rep. this guy said that the springrates are at 230lb/in front and 170lb/in rear. thats about a 50% increase over stock in the front and about 60% in the rear.

the first guy also told me that the rear springs were stiffer then the front. the new numbers seem to be a bit more realistic.
