Hello all,
Just wondering what spring rates all the aftermarket springs are out there for BA Astina/Lantis/323F? In kg or lbs rates, it don't matter. 1 kg = 55 lbs. Please list it so if is clear to read, eg:- Lovells = Fronts 2.90kg and Rears 1.75kg Cheers for any info. Ryan |

Kings only do a low, and its 270lbs front and 150lbs progressive rears, and will drop the car about 30mm...
am i correct in saying that 270/56 = 4.8kg/mm and rear are 2.6kg/mm?

Are the MazdaSpeed Eibachs the same as my Pro-Kit ones?
And anyone have any idea what the spring rates for King SuperLows and Whiteline Flatouts would be? I wanna figure out how much extra comfort I could be having LOL

king dont make a super low for the BA but the lows are 4.8kg and 2.6kg f/r. not sure about the whiteline ones but i think they are a bit softer.. someone correct me if im wrong. perhaps redline can help more because i think he has some.

I'm pretty sure there are king super lows for the BA cuz I was so close to getting those but in the end decided to pay the big bucks and get the Eibachs instead.
I know its not on their online catalogue but im sure i've seen them in a hard copy once.

whiteline/lovell do: - control - flatout king - low - super-ass-numbing-low

I called up Eibach today and apparently Pro-Kit springs have the following specs
BA Astina 1.8 Drop: F: 30mm / R: 30mm. Spring rates: F: 2.86kgf/mm / R: 1.33-2.04kgf/mm (Progressive) Now i'm confused as to why my car is so bumpy. Maybe its the KYB shocks or the bushes? Also anyone know what the spring rate of the stock BA Astina 1.8 springs are?
