Motons, good streetable spring rates?

[Matt162]

Whats a good Spring rate for a Street driven 06 FE coupe? It has a Paxton, does more power make a difference in choice? The car will be on a set of factory sized wheels and tires but with a lowered ride height. It doesn't have any areo on it, so no added downforce. I Any input would help on adjustments and settings as well! Thanks!
PS- If anyone with motons wants to share some car **** feel free!

Standard is pretty much 500 lb front, 800 lb rear with OE wheels (heavy). 8 inch Eibachs seem to be the choice.

Setting of 3 rebound, 2 compression works pretty well on the street.

This is what I run on my wife's 06 VOI 9 coupe.

Opinions will vary.

i will have a set of billet wheels on the car, just OEM sizing, still the same rates?

 

[Viper X]

Yep, same spring rates.

I run the later version of the six spokes with the thinner spokes. They weigh about what the sidewinders weigh.

I just finish with my set up, I used the Penske 8300 love them, when I did the 800 on the rear it was to much for me the 700 was perfect. on the front 500 worked fine.

I thought you had H&R's on your car?

 

[cubican]

Not any more I sold the H&R and I did the Penskes great set of shocks.

500 and 800's here. Turn the settings down and it rides like a dream.
