Gixxer Drew suspension setup

[AfterDark]

Since I cant seem to find this info anywhere I was wondering what size springs to use for my mk3. I'll be running the gixxer drew suspension setup (blistein shocks-hypercoil springs) with 650/400 springs rates. I'm not sure what spring size to use tho (the thread on Supraforums is geared towards mk4's) This is for a street car by the way. Heres the link to the thread for thos who dont kno what i'm talking about ------>>>> -click me-

Wiisass makes a similar set up for our cars so you might want to ask him.

I just read a thread on supra forum and the guy was running 8" in front and 10" in the back. But that was for aragosta coilovers.

From what I read you should use 8" springs all around with helper springs in the rear. I know thats for the mk4 but I think since the cars are so similar you can use the same ones.

Sizes still work but in one of wiisass's posts he said those spring rates might not work. I emailed him on what he thought would be good for the mk3, now im just waiting for him to reply.

sorry to bring the post back from death.... since the 935motorsports site is dead, I don't recall what's the "recommended" spring rate... can anyone help to "refresh" the data? Thanks!

 

[hvyman]

recommended spring rate as far what.

What spring rates are you running?

Sorry for the late response, I am looking for street ride level of comfort, as I am not a hardcore weekend racer. I am still running the stock suspension, which is letting me down every time I am driving it.

Sorry for necro-posting but any updates. I'd like to go for a 1.2 inch drop or so and better handling for spirited street driving and occasional road course.
