Hi people!
I'm building a suspension kit for a corsa B. We already made the struts in stainless steel, the perches in 6351 T6 anodized aluminum, they are rebound adjustable, full threaded body.
So, I'd like some suggestions about the spring rates. We are thinking something in the neighborhood of 180 - 210 lbs/in.
The car is a GSI.
So, if you guys that have sport suspensions, could share your info about your kits with me, I would be very happy!
Regards!

I dont know much about my suspension in terms of spring rates.
i know that i was using koni adjustable shocks and eibach springs and my car handled really well.
ive replaced the reear now with spax adjustable shocks and 60mm springs so we will see how it goes

That i could do, but how could i ask about the real results? To know what should be, is not that difficult. But i'd like some impressions of real cars, not just advertisement...
but thanks for the suggestion!
regards!
