Stock Spring Rate on RX-2
Anyone know what the stock spring rate is on an RX-2? Or at least those of you that replaced your springs or went with coil-overs, what spring rate did you specify and how do you like the ride? any recomendations?

My Ground Controls came with 6" long 250lb (f)/ 180lb. (r). Not the best ride or length for the 2 I have found. They need longer springs to keep them more captive. I am still messing with settings, shocks, and springs, hopefully things will be suspended much better soon.

I'm planning on going the cheapo route and get some Afco springs. They have some that seem to be the right diameter but not sure what rate to get. I was going to start with 275 lb all around.
I figured the RX-2 to be about the same weight or close to that of a first gen celica and I know of a guy that is running 350 lb and said it was a little to stiff for daily driving.

Should fit right in nicely with a little bit of fabbing... The length is a bit too long, but thats why we used 8" long springs...
I'll trade you your adj. for my barely used blue's......

Are you hitting the bumpstops with an 8" spring? or are you using coilovers as well?
