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.

 

I'm using 8" long 2.5" diameter eibach springs...250lb in the front and 200lb in the rear... I'm using tokico adj. in the front and tokico blues int he rear...If I can do it over, I would have used 300lb in the front...

 

How did you get the blues to fit in the back of a Rx2?

 

2nd gen rear shocks...i have a pair of good used tokico blacks...pm if your interested...

 

NO ****! 2nd Gens will bolt straight up?!?!?!?...I have a set of 2nd gen illuminas just lying on my garage floor!!!

 

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......

 

You're using a 2.5" in the front? (Isn't the stock a 5"?) And which tokicos are you using in front?

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

 

your talking 2nd gen RX7 rear shocks right. and they ar almost a direct fit in the rear of the RX2

 

Yes maam...thats what I typed...
Compare the two... Then you'll know what I talking bout...
