Spring size question

[Iwishiwascool]

My POFS Skunk2 springs that are probably the wrong spring rate have to go. Eibach it is.

The problem is that I cut the perches off the front shocks. The only way I would be able to support the springs is by using the Skunk 2 coil over perches with the Eibach Springs.

I dont remember how big the perches were and whether a stock sized or Eibach spring will be too large to use the Skunk 2 coilover as a perch.

Who has the answer or a picture of the exact spring?

(The back is fine, I didnt have to cut those off)

would those spring rates and sizes work on say...a 1G?

What size are the Junk2 springs? If they're a standard size, ie. 2.5" x 8", you can pick up good spings (Hypercoils) at whatever rate you'd like.

No way those springs will work on a 1G. They're WAY off on diameter and height, and even if they were right, the rates will make your ride and handling grossly off balance.

They are this size:

I guess thats standard...

How much do the hypercoils run...

Chad has the hook up on eibach that is why I lean that way.

I'm willing to bet they're a standard size. Are there any numbers embossed/painted/scribed onto the springs themselves? You may be able to tell from that. I did a quick and dirty Google search for the spring size, but didn't turn up anything worthwhile yet.

Hypercoils generally run about $50 a spring. Just specity a diameter, free height and rate. They'll take care of the rest.

Eibachs are probably fine since they're for a coilover application and will use their real racing springs (ie. used on REAL racecars, not a "RaCe CaR") ERS springs. Those are dandy. Their Sportline and Prokit springs are complete trash and shouldn't be used on anything that wants serious handling.


[Edit: My blind ass didn't see the numbers on the springs in your provided photo. Find the number on your springs and that'll tell you their size.]
