Rollover_Red Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 thanks everyone for your support. i have done a couple of things since i last posted on here. i finally did my 280zx coilover and brake upgrade and master cylinder as well. i used 92 mr2 shock inserts (kyb gr2), some crappy springs and S14 nismo 60mm wheel studs. im buying some eibach springs this coming wednesday. fronts are 1000 and rears are 800. any opinions?

bonvo Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 is that the spring rate? if so 1000 is going to be waaaaaaaaaay to stiff from everything i have read Quote Link to comment

Ranman72 Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 I like the paint express yourself away now if it was a nicely painted 510 and you were expressing yourself all over it I would think there was something wrong with you Quote Link to comment
Rollover_Red Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 soo 1000 is too stiff for the front even if i run no sway bar? Quote Link to comment
Cmac Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Drive it RED ! I want to borrow that shifter for a photo just to wind someone up. I want to say that my coils are 250 or 300. Here is a link Ted Hedman put together that may help you out. http://www.bsedan.com/510s.htm Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Stock 510 fronts are 90-100 pounds spring rate. I cut a coil off my 710 fronts and it works our to 150 and I'm liking that rate. Stock 510 rears springs are about 380-400pounds. This can be confusing but the spring isn't above the rear axle but ahead of it on the control arm. Mechanical advantage is 3.8 because of this lever effect so a 400 pound spring divided by 3.8 is felt as a 105 pound rate at the tire. Knowing this a 1000 pound spring is only a 263 pound at the wheel. Still very stiff (I think but everyone is different and I got old bones) My 710 goon is plenty firm at 150 pound but I don't race or slam around corners much. A 200 pound front/rear may be better to some and 250 for others.. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I have #225 front and rear coilovers..... the ride's a little too stiff,, but tolerable with my "lowered" ride height ...... I want #200 front spring for the winter time, after I raise the front suspension 4-5 inches (I need taller struts) .. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Rollover_Red Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 ok so how about 8kg(?) rears and 16kg(?) fronts? my buddy has a bunch of super stiff springs and i wanted to buy a pair due to the fact that they are super cheap. he also has 18kg and 20kg Swift springs. any thoughts? im still new to the spring game >.< i plan on autocrossing again here soon and i dont mind having a stiff ride as a daily, im more worried about the handling. im also eventually going to swap a ca18det in there later on, so would a higher spring rate be better for the power/added weight?
