JIC FLT-A2 spring rates... Your evaluation please!

Greensleeper · Sep 13, 2004

First, YES I have do a 'search'.

For me it seems strange that the rates are 6 kg in front and 4 kg in the rear... The other way around seems more right no?

So, all you users of the A2 and A1, did the car can rotate by throttle or this is just plain understeer?

Thank you!

the car is heavier in the front, so 6f/4r seems reasonable to me...and at the current 60/40 f/r weight distibution, the car should stay balanced as the suspension compresses b/c the spring rates match the weight.

if you want the rear much stiffer (and you'd only really want that for autoX or road racing), then you can change out the springs, i'm sure.

jic-magic sells different spring rates and heights, plus helper springs.

not exactly cheap, but if you want, they go all the way up to like 18k springs, which is basically 2000lbs/cm. if you're planning on putting a semi-truck on top of your car, then you might concider those insanely stiff springs.
