    I'm wanting to get a price for 300lb springs from dfaulknersprings.com but what internal diameter and free length do I ask for??

    Cheers

    I'm assuming these springs are to be used in the standard spring pan setup? If you ask Faulkner for Saxo springs and specify the poundage and free length, they will handle the rest.

    What sort of ride height are you hoping for? Anything north of around 200lb is going to leave you at near enough standard height. A coilover setup would probably be your best bet - perhaps Gaz if you want to retain standard top mounts.

    I was hoping for the same ride height that it is the now but tbh I'm not fussed,so long as it handles well on track......that's the priority.

    The springs on the gaz coilovers are 300lb iirc and that's roughly the spring rate I'm thinking for matching a 23mm setup on the rear.

    I'm not sure how low my car is up front at the moment but I'm guessing 40mm or so,and the 180lb springs will lower it roughly 30mm or so but if 250+lb springs keep it at stud height then I'll need to live with that.
