im lookin at some 17x8's for my 1986 Rx7 Turbo (s4) theyve got a 35 offset and i plan to put two 225x45's on the front and 235x45's on the back (will these tyres fit). then i was thinkin of gettin either kyb agx's of koni sports (which better??? in terms of performance adjustability ease of adjustmant etc) also i was gonna get 2x400lbs and 2x275 i dont care if my teeth fall out. does all this sound like ill have a good handlin car by the end??

also i plan to use the car for fast road and very amatuerish racin with a limited budget so no coilovers etc.

thanx karl

 

how did you plan to get 400lbs springs without coilovers??....

 

what do u mean???? im gettin an adjustable strut and puttin 400lbs springs on the front and 275lbs at the back. i spose i meant the height adjustable ones u no they have that collar that goes up and down.

thanx karl

 

400lb springs..

meaning..the spring rate?
my god..my spring rate is 120lbs (ST linears)

my ride is resonably bumpy..i wouldnt want it to be any harsher though. Its not driving aroudn that sucks, its hearing "BAM" after you hit an unavoidable bigger bump that mkaes you think you just fucked ur car up

 

thats the spring rate thats beeen suggested to me by a few people do u think this set up would handle well though??? also wats the widest tire i can fit under the front on a 8" wide rim.

thanx karl

 

umm...u r in new zealand, do they mean 400kg not lbs?

 

Those rates sound like something for racing. VERY stiff. You might not like them anywhere but a SMOOTH road. Girls won't like them. Not one bit. Plus, with rates that stiff, everything that could loosen up and rattle/squeak will do so.
400kgs would be over 800lbs, so I would believe the 400lbs.
