i just swapped my stock springs with a new set of weltmeister 140 springs this weekend. they are mounted on an old set of red koni which maybe wore out. but i gotta say im pretty dissapointed. i thought they would lower the rear end of my car some. but it didnt lower it a bit, it may even be raised a tad. i made sure that they are installed properly, with the coil ends in there little indents.
after a test drive around town i honestly dont think they made much difference over the stock springs. what gives? this week i will be re building my front end. elephant front bushings (to match the rears) 21mm torsion bars, and a 22mm tarret sway bar. i dont have the dough to buy new shocks or inserts yet. but i am planning on going with bilsteins. so my questions are.... do the springs need time to settle? or is this my ride height? is 140 a good spring rate to match my front setup? how the hell do you guys get your cars to sit so low? |
