I just installed 180mm 8k/6k springs on my fwd 1g. I like that It handles great, but the comfort is not there. I want to add 5k or 6k Swift tender Springs to the front . I can’t find any example of someone doing this.
with the 8k (450lbs) spring in tandem the Initial rate would be 172lbs with the 5k or 192lbs with a 6k spring for the first 72mm before the spring binds.
both values are more than stock rates. I’m not sure which to choose. I’m leaning towards the 5k option because I’d end up at coil bind and second spring rate sooner. 4K is an option too. Initial rate would be 149lbs. That’s pretty close to stock rate.
has anyone tried this setup?
