What is a good spring rate for coilovers?

With a typical street car, you’re looking for the weight of the vehicle to compress the springs 25- to 30-percent. For drag cars, you will typically want between 30- and 35-percent of the spring to compress.

How do you calculate spring rate?

To calculate the amount of spring rate you will need on order to meet your working loads, simply divide the load you will be applying on your spring by the distance you expect your spring to travel or compress under that load.

Is a higher spring rate stiffer?

Spring Rate refers to the amount of weight it takes to compress a spring a certain distance. The higher the spring rate, the stiffer the spring. Some springs are non-linear, which typically means the spring gets stiffer the more you compress it.

What do coil over shocks do?

The purpose of coilover springs is to prevent the chassis from bottoming out, support each individual wheel on the vehicle, and mitigate or reduce body roll when taking turns and cornering, particularly at higher speeds. The springs also help to reduce squatting when accelerating and diving when decelerating.

Do coilovers ride better than springs?

Unlike lowering springs, coilovers offer a much greater range of adjustability including ride height, spring pre-load, shock damping, and rebound. Typically, coilover sets feature even stiffer spring rates than a set of lowering springs alone, again sacrificing ride quality for cornering performance.

Does spring rate affect ride height?

Because spring rates are the same each spring will collapse the same amount under the weight of the vehicle. The result is the same amount of ride height.
