You're saying that you want to go to linear rate spring. How did you calculate progressive rate on your current springs?

I calculated it by walking into my garage, deciding my car's a pos, then proceding to search internet on guilt trip. Basically my usual creative process, nothing new.

In E36 spring sits next to shosk and its not true coilover. 500lbs rears in E36 set up = 300lbs in E39.
Different suspension geometry. Plus if they offer that spring you can use it in the car that weights a lot less than E36.

ohhh thats right, someone mentioned this to me before one time..but apparently i forgot

What shocks do you have?

asslands. from my early ricer days.

see thats what i thought, but then why would you even offer 4" springs in a 500lb configuration thats what threw me off.

alright well i guess i will look into it some more, would have to find a place to re-valve shocks, gawd fuggin being broke sucks ass i **** my shit suspension

I'm in need of a pair of front springs for my coilovers. My coilovers have the hub mounts welded to the shock body, so I don't have that 2nd adjustability like other coilovers do.

Right now I have 10k @ 8", and looking to get 12k @ 6". Debating whether to keep it in the family with Tein springs or go with a cheaper but still quality pieces.

Swift springs.

Swift springs.

BC, Fortune auto or BPM springs are cheaper.

go with cheaper but still quality pieces, that way, when/if they suck,you won't have to worry about which one to pick next time

I thought they all used rebranded swifts?

Idk exactly.
Swift = $70-80 /each
Bc, Fortune, PBM = $70-80 /pair

Not sure about springs for cars but when I did research on dirtbike springs I was very surprised to find out that there are only a couple of places that actually manufacture springs. Not sure about car springs but I would make a bet that alot of springs are made by a small group of companies.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if this were the case.
