Hi,

Has anyone got a note of what the OEM rear spring rate, and length is??

We are working on the suspension now ~ it sits very very high, I'm not sure the springs i have are actually for this car.

It was an unfinished project when i took it on so a lot of things were half-done.

I have recently discovered that I have a 1/2" dip lower on my drivers rear side with a full gas tank as the gas tank is on that side (it dips a bit more with a driver in the car too, however with a LHD car I suspect it levels out nicely). I am now trying to find a way to balance mine to be perfectly even on both sides at the rear so will probably add a spacer or a section of rubber hose on the top part of my RH rear spring.

So it's worth thinking about this if your car is RHD and adding a spacer before everything is set up if you want a perfectly even coupe.

I noticed the same, so I have a standard 3. upper spring rubber on rear right and a thinner 2. Rubber on the left.
38mm and 28mm I think.

Much Appreciated!!

I USED STANDARD SPRINGS FROM "GROUND CONTROL"
ESPECIALLY MADE FOR THE COUPE IT SITS PERFECT.

Thanks for the advice.

That's exactly what I need to do... but where did you buy a 38mm larger rear spring rubber? (I have tried Jaymic but they only sell the one size of rear spring rubber)

The 38mm is the standard I think, I purchased the 28mm from WN, they have both.
