I'm looking to find some springs for my FC TII. I'd like to run around 375 up front and 250 in the rear, only problem is i seem to only be able to find 140 rate springs. I don't feel the need for coilovers at this time and the car will most likely not be seeing street useage more than a few weekends a year.

thanks for your help all

 

You're really not going to get to pick your rates without going to coilovers. Otherwise you're just left with whatever aftermarket manufacturers have decided is an "improvement" over the stock springs.

 

Coilover kit from Ground Control. Cheap way to do "real" coilovers. www.ground-control.com

Eibach 2.5" or 2.25" ID springs are used ... and just about any spring rate you want.

 

i didn't really want to go with ground controll's... but if it's what i have to do i guess i will.


any way i can modify the stock struts to accept the 2.5" ID eibachs

 

Yes. Buy the Ground Control kit Sorry, there really is no cheaper way to do what you wish to do.

 

i am just not too big of a fan of sleeve type coilovers...

I am going to look into GAB, i think there is a slight chance they may have something. i'll let everyone know what i find

 

The GAB shocks still require sleeve type coilovers. There really is no other option in terms of increasing your spring rates. There are different suspension designs that could avoid the sleeve type spring/shock setup ... but you'd spend A LOT more money doing that.

 

no i was implying that GAB may have some springs that are much higher rates. I am well aware of the costs of other options. I think i have something now though, a friend was having the same issue with his springs so i am jsut gonan make a few calls wednesday afternoon and then let you guys knows what happens.
