Congrats Nick! Nicely done!

In choosing my spring rates, I thought I would model the F/R ratio after the CR and go close to the limits of my TC Klines Koni DA's.

CR = 392F/342R
Max = 700F/610R (600 close enough)
1 notch lower = 650F/567R (550 close enough)

The initial setting that the TC Kline rep suggested was 400F/500R... that seemed opposite from this thread though

My tech suggests to go a little conservative, by going with: 650/500.

I believe I am going to go with my tech's suggestion and work from that.

Thoughts?

Two things.

Try less rear camber, and/or more rear spring. I bet your natural frequency's are too far apart with 250 lbs between the front and the rear. I have 800/700 and the NF is about .2 to .3 apart.

Keep in mind, my NF calculations are not 100% accurate, but probably close enough.

 

Just got the call from TC Kline, so I ordered the goodies with the springs being 650F/500R.

I'll search the thread for ride height recommendations.... hope it is working today. LOL

Center of hub to fender 13-13.25 front. Make the rear .25" higher.

That should be ok with soft spring rates.

 

I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I understand that these are all just starting points and will need to adapt to driving style and setup.

Thanks again!!

I'll get you mine final ride height this weekend. Keep in mind I have stiffer springs.

 

We run similar with softer springs:
13" front center of hub to fender, 13.25 rear.

450F 550R spring rates

 

Interesting that you are just a hair higher than what TC Kline recommended and having the fronts softer than the rears.

Sooo... how do you like how the car feels with the current rates?

I have 700 and 850 springs and my car is too rolly.
