I use my car for street use (mostly canyon driving), never autocrossed. I am going to change my shocks to Bilstein and I figure I might as well change my springs too. I bought the Weltmeister 100 lbs., but I am not sure if I should keep it or exchange it for 140lbs. springs.
Is there a big improvement over the stock ones with the 100 lbs? Is the 140lbs overkill for what I do? Need some input. Thanks, Levon |

When I was setting my suspension, it was said that 140s were the highest you could go w/o needing to change the the fronts (assuming you had a stock ASB in place.)
100s are used as stock relpacements, I think. If you want to go stock, use the 100s. The 140s will lower the rear end ~ 1/2 inch and are supposed to improve body roll. bigger then 140 in the rear (so it is said) you will be introducing too much oversteer to the car unless you stiffen up the front too. Spin city. Zach |
