Changing spring rates

Postby TRD_ZERO » Fri Feb 05, 2010 6:56 pm

Ive got trd adjustable coilovers in my ae111 and it is incredibly stiff. I dnt mind so much im just scared about buckling my new wheels.
The coilovers are blue so i think its the sushkit ones.
What are my options about changing the springs out for something a little less harsh to save my wheels?

just measure your springs' internal diameter and length, and find some that match in the spring rate you want. if your coilovers have adjustable spring perch as well, the length doesn't matter too much, as long as it's close. ID is the important measurement.
i just got some new springs for my coilovers from redline for $140 a pair.
