Currently I have ZEAL function b6 with 8kg spring rates all the way around. They are amazing, but I feel its time for a upgrade.

Im thinking about going into the 12-14kg rate area. My car is daily driven hard, so im not worried about the stiffness.

What im asking is, does it pay to just get new springs for the coilovers since their valved high, or should i just switch setups?

Im not even sure what to get. I like the ASM Arogasta setup, but i have heard little about it.

 

Did you try stiffening the damper settings?

 

I bought Jihans Aragosta coils w/swift springs 14kg rear and 12kg front i belive. Ride is hard, but swift makes it seem softer.

 

You should contact Auto RnD about it. From my understanding, those can be rebuilt here in the states to your specs. I'm on Zeal Function X

 

they are a 6 way adjustable and im currently at 4.

Ill look into the rebuild to my specs, but what else is on the market that is good? seems like arogasta is the next step.

 

Check with the manufacturer and see what rates the stock valving can support first. Most coilovers can handle a 2-4k spring rate hike on the supplied valving. Stepping them up to 10 or 12k would still make a decent difference. I recoment Swift springs. They do not sag, and preload is not needed or recomended on them. They are also the lightest springs out there.

 

yeah I would also recommend getting Swift springs, if you want to go stiffer than 12k you i don't think you would need to revalve, you should talk to endlessusa about what springrates your shocks are able to handle and go with something pretty stiff.

Swift is known for really letting you run a stiff spring with not a lot of negative feedback over bumps etc.

before you choose your springrate, consider what tires you will be using as well, if the tire size is going to be upped a decent amount i wouldn't be afraid to go as high as 16k if you will running Neova's or RE-01's or something of that nature.

the B6 seem like a great setup for the street. so upping the spring rate seems like a good idea.

 

the asm aragosta setup seems to be on the soft side, that is their street spec setup. if you wanted aragostas, get the top secret custom valved ones with your own choice of swift spring rates.
