Guys i have a spare set of springs from Ki office coilovers i used to have. gold shocks green springs
I have HSD TT coilovers on my s15 at present with 6kg front and 4kg rear.
Does anyone know the standard spring rates for the ki office ones? as i want stiffer suspension and i cant use the rear ki office shocks as they are shagged.
I think they are 8kg front and 6kg rear.
Any ideas?
I could just swap them and see how it goes. Or could buy 8kg pair from DW for the HSD and put the 6kg from the front on the back...........

TBH you are opening up a whole lot of issues when you start swapping other brand springs with different coilovers. The coilovers have the valving set to the spring rates so you get optimum handling and ride with compression and rebound matched. You would have to get them revalved to match the new rates otherwise you will blow the damper.

I'm sure the stock Kei Office coilovers are 7kg F and R
