Does anybody on here have any experience of spring rates on coilovers?
Its for a 2.0l 16v corsa.

I'm looking at running springs and helper springs in 2 1/4"

I've been told i should be looking at 12" overall length now ive found the helper in 2" or 4" so should i run 2"/10" or 4"/8" and what pound springs for each?

Anyone?

dunno what helper springs are but i have just upgraded my spax rsx springs from standard springs to avo 300lb 2 1/4" springs and it made a big difference in my 2.0 16v nova on the track, didnt tip anywhere near as bad as it used to
