How do I choose springs ???
Permalink  

I need to replace the springs on my existing coilovers

Apart from measuring Inside diameter and overall length of spring, How do i find out what rate (pound) of spring to order.

I know the weight of each wheel fully loaded and approx ride height.

Also what brand springs are better/longer lasting

Any advice or opinions appreciated

Try this:

When I calculated my first buggy I bought cheap springs in the poundage indicated and then when that was correct I then purchased good quality springs. I've only ever used Eibachs since, but there is a lot of choice these days.
