Spring Rate question

05-06-2012, 08:53 AM

Hey guys! I had a quick question about how well matched spring rates have to be? Say I had a #500 and a #512 on the front would there be any noticeable difference/steering affects as opposed to having 2 matching #500 springs? I realize the latter is ideal but I am just curious as always!

Thanks!
Alex

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

For street use, you wont notice the different, your talking a 2.5% difference, which is within most manufacturing specs.

Now a racecar, if your a good driver, yes, you might notice the difference. Most Club level racers tune in 50-100lb spring increments, so 12 lbs is minimal.
