I have Eibach Springs from a 914 rear / Koni adj, setup and even though I have the part numbers, I can't find out any info on the Eibach website. Anyone have Eibach rear springs, or know where I can find out what spring rates these things are??

Thanks,R

Now you're just bragging. In your opinion, what's a good spring rate for my AX sled? Also what height?

What size front T bars do you have?

There is a balance point (springwise) front to rear that will put your front AR bar around half hard and give you what you want for handling at AX. an inch or so of movement fwd or back on the AR bar then gives you more front or rear grip. This assumes there is no rear AR bar.

I'm not sure what the front t bars are, but I can tell you the car feels like a dog with its butt in the air going around the fence...

100lbs in the back. Ummmm.... Are you sure someone didn't sneek in and change those in the middle of the night?

As JP said, figure out what sway bar you have in front, then match the back. You ought to look at the Smart Racing set up for the front....

My guess is that you'll need 250-275's at a minimum back there - to lose the fence routine.

8 inchers get you closer to the ground.


PS

You might have to machine part of the thread off the adjustable perches to make everything work correctly with the shorter springs. I'll have to take a picture of mine and send it along.
