monstaru Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 can you figure out co-efficients?http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=7685&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipspeedy Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 nice yours is in color the one i saw at the subie dealer here in albuquerque was black and white and no i don't know how to read the coefficent but if anybody does please help me:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 can you figure out co-efficients?... Co-efficients? Looks to me like standard spring rate for non-progressive coil spring. Should just need to look at the "lbs/in" figure and compare to the lbs/in rating of other springs. Am I missing something? (again ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 you really won't want them if they are stiffer. I've got the stiffer RX front springs on my ea81 struts (to hold the added weight of my bumper/winch) and they force the axle to ride at max extension basically. down travel is decreased and up travel is considerable stiffer. expect to lose axles regularly.

monstaru Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 i also have the rx springs on my ea-81 struts,.but they are coupled with coupe struts and afford a little less stress on the axles.these are kyb struts, not stock extended struts.

baccaruda Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 what sort of car are the other springs from? someone somewhere will have the stats for them. they might be nice for people who put in larger engines and/or larger custom front bumpers.
