Spring Rates MeisterR Coilovers

[George611]

What spring rates do the MeisterR coilovers come with front and Back? IM guessing there was a set spring rate from factory with and option of different rates.

Oh and ive got the zetaR's.

Also what rates do you think are good for track...only track, car will rarely be used on the road.

Any helps appreciated thanks guys!

The spring rates are 5kg/mm for the front and 4kg/mm for the rear on the ZetaR.

Cheers buddy! so thats about 223lbs and 280lbs then?

Anyone used higher poundage springs? thinking maybe 320 280

I worked it out to 275.58lbs/inch front and 220.46lbs/inch rear, so yeah, you're pretty close. It would be best to drop Meister a line directly regarding the availability of optional linear springs/rates for the zetaR. They would also be the best ones to recommend you a spring rate for any given applications as well.

Solely for track work I would definitely get slightly stiffer springs than the standard meister rates, they're great for the road but will be a little soft on track.

Cheers buddy! I dropped then a message and they said the standard springs are more than enough for track....I beg to differ...as you say Wallace they are far to soft on track, rolls too much and bottoms out a lot you can even see it in the pictures, I might get in contact with GAZ and see if they can supply me some springs that will fit be interesting what they think will be best

I assume you have stiffened the shocks up yeah?
I have zeta Rs on the Crx and when they are adjusted hard, they could near rattle my teeth out!

 

[George611]

Yeah yeah of course lol ive set it all up at work over the period of about 3 track days testing etc. but come down to the conslusion that the springs arent good enough for what i need them for. Might try some different pre load settings before i buy new springs

The 5/4 setup is designed to be a good all rounder.
Should you want heavier springs rate, we have them in stock.

But if it is for a road / occasional track car, then I will stick with the 5/4 if possible and use larger anti-roll bars.
You don't want to loose too much compliancy.

But we have 6kg/mm in stock, so you can use 6/5 if you want... or higher.
It really depends on what you use your car for, what surfaces you will be driving on, and most importantly.... the tyres you will be using.
