can anyone share their spring rate and their opinion on the stiffness and stability street performance wise?
im using hwl adjustable. im not sure whats the spring rate but i heard original hwl is 8kg/mm front,rear probly 6kg/mm. i feel that this is setup for track use since the road is smooth, but i dont do track, only fast road driving.
my problem with current setup:
-its too stiff my foot always went off the pedal after crossing bumps
- tends to skid when cornering on uneven road, too stiff it loses gripness
- tends to understeer
- even on fast straight road driving, i feel like ice skating, the tyre doesnt feel like its planted to the ground well enough
my setup:
-yokohama gp tyre
-rear arb, front upper and lower arm bar
its best if i know the stock spring rate ratio so can use high spring rate but same ratio
anyone went through trial and error with their spring rate setup? can share result and experience? i plan to swap to 4-5kg/mm front and 3 kg/mm for the rear.
i read a corolla user got best handling and comfort on 4kg/mm front and 2.88 kg/mm rear equipped with bars. corolla is heavier than kelisa which makes original hwl spring rate for kelisa/kenari is way too high for street driving
pls help anybody :D
