The stiffness is a guestimate and based on advice from others. So that was a big unknown.

I use an original SQ suspension. That uses 80 mm ID springs. Almost impossible to find. So I calculated the size of the spring, ride height and ordered them at D Faulkner springs. They are way cheaper then any other spring manufacturer in Holland.
Hope this helps!

And yes for coil overs, original SQ has adjustable perches.

how much does that cost for a set of springs ?

thanks for info

JEFFER@ were did you get the springs; and how to deside the stiffnes..?? its only for coilover, or for "normal" struts??

The SQ is also a tad lighter then S2/RS2's. But I agree, 700 will be good for track use.

I was talking about my old shorty, I have gone through 6 diffident sets of 6'' spring trying to get the car right. I still have box of them laying around.
I came to conclusion where I think the best fast road set up should be about 600 main spring and about 100 or stronger helper.

I found 500 still toooo soft, the billis kept botomming out. I woud say 700 for the rear is minimum if you racing.

It's a huge positive difference. It's a pretty harsh ride, but not annoyingly hard. And I F'ed up in my previous post. I've put 500 up front, abd 450 on the rear.
