[Fot] TR4/6 IRS Spring Rate

[malaboge at aol.com]

Wow-

Those aren't springs...they're solid blocks!

Seriously, I've wanted to run stiffer springs myself and just haven't gotten to it yet...where did I put that list?
I have spring that are 600 in the front and 500 in the rear,? I run those with a 7/8" front sway bar with about a 5" lever arm and a 9/16" rear with about a 10" lever arm.? The car is neutral just about anywhere and everywhere, except hard trail braking...it tends to get just a tad tail happy.? The car could be stiffer as it does take moment too long to settle in a corner.? Now I have an end point for further mods...800 & 1000 jeez...

Spring is, just around the corner...
