Standard XR2 springs are about at low as you can go before you run into grounding problems.
Chris G -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of crash test Sent: 11 July 2010 09:20 To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: [Quantum Owners] Coupe Front Springs The coupe has been running coil over shocks at the front since I rebuilt it, however the coil overs came with a load of stuff that someone was going to make into a track day only car. The upshot is that I have never known the spring rates and the ride is as firm as you are likely to get. Ontop of this the springs do actually "squeak" when driving along, they are slightly rubbing on the shock body section. Anyway that's the history now for the question. I have sourced a pair of MK2 XR2 front legs and by using the top fitments of the MK1 coil overs I have managed to fit them to the car, however does anyone have any idea as to how much lower than standard springs I can go without fouling and also what spring rate I should be looking for to get a reasonably comfortable ride but not too soft? I am running 195 45 15 tyres on OZ wheels with a 10mm spacer to get the tyres to clear the leg. I still have other works to do to the car so it is not on its wheels just yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
