Suspension

[Vx gunmetal]

Have asked before, but I'll try again as I have been unable to get the information. :(

Does anyone know the suspension spring rates for a volumex coupe ? I have at least dicovered the dampers are the same spec as the standard coupe but the springs were uprated for the vx. Or can point me in the right direction to discover this elusive information.

Cheers

technical data for VX coupe says spring rate at wheel front 0.52mm/kg rear 0.47mm/kg

wheel movement upper front 65mm rear90mm
lower front 90mm rear 105mm

UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE FIGURES FOR THE ORDINARY COUPE IN THE SAME FORMAT

hope this helps!

Thanks for that, however when I convert these figures to lbs they are Front = 29.120lbs and rear =26.320lbs which can't be right as most car of our coupes weight, even very softly sprung cars, have poundage figure in the hundreds. Such as a toyota celica st165 has figures of 168 and 112. I never thought it would be this hard to get a set of custom springs !! :(

sorry but i only quoted as they were printed! I'll have another look when I have time

My calculations give 107.8lb/in front, and 118.9lb/in rear
