What makes an rx strut an rx strut?

Featured Replies

is it the coil or the shock absorber?

here's a plan i had if it was the coil...

got my wrecked rx, picked up a perfect turbo wagon with what seems to be almost new shocks and adjustable struts. if i replaced the wagon coils with my rx coils, what would happen? and if i adjusted the strut to the most compressed position, would it be more benificial?

Its both... slightly stiffer springs in the front but the big difference is the struts/shocks, they have about twice the dampening rate. Here's the chart...

any idea what the adjustable strut would do? would it just raise the spring compression ratio and nothing to the damping rate?

 

Andrew

It only changes the ride hight, its only an adjustable sping seat, does not affect spring or dampening rate.

Any chance you could re-post the strut chart above in a somewhat less compressed .jpg format? Or a link?

 

It is a little fuzzy when enlarged or printed.

 

Thanks!
