      Coilover Spring Rates

      By 55trucker · Posted

      You could dial in a little more negative camber on the fronts....do you know what the current setting is? One doesn't want to go *stupid* dramatic with negative.

      Coilover Spring Rates

      By pwmin · Posted

      Gotcha, yes they are only single adjustable (rebound).  Stiffening them up seemed to help in the past when the rears would do that, but could have just been in my head.  I would go lower if I could, but they would hit a lot because of how close the tire is to the outside of the fender.  That's what I get for living the "stance" life.   I'll have to make due with the shocks I have.  I don't think there are any coilover options for these with double adjustable ones.  I could probably make something work if I researched enough, though, but I am much happier with the ride now.

      You're getting contact with the fender when the spring compresses, the shocks if they are single acting they don't dampen when compressing...only when they rebound. If what you have is an acceptable ride (not bone jarring) & the ride height is where you want it (even tho the fender is close to the tire), then what I suggest is a double acting shock that provides dampening in both directions.  Seeing as you have mounted coil-overs you may be able to find double acting shocks for that setup.

      I'm talking about the strut dampening adjustment.

      Don't know how one changes the spring rate of a coil, it's built into the springs particular design rating.
