<close too OEM 07/ 08 MY Bias> is the hope here ??
600LB rear coil spring <Falkner><because $45 each>
571LB front coil spring<Ohlins>
392 FSB<CR>
311 RSB <Oem 04MY>
25lb lighter on exhaust silencers so rear overhang as using Tanabe G, it effects bias also.but how much ?
would be very helpful if you could help please @Car Analogy
Thankyou

Dude, we have near identical setups with the exception that you are running [near] square spring rate and I'm using a square wheel setup. I'm also looking to return the balance of the 07/08, just with the added front-end grip that comes with square setup.

To set the rear preload to 12mm.

You can set preload to 12mm with the factory supplied cups. Because the cup has nothing at all to do with preload....

Preload is set with the spring perches.
