who's the stiffest???

[James Himself]

anyone know which springs are stiffer, H&R race springs, or the ST coilover springs?

[oprah winfrey]

my spring is the hardest for you

[d15nonvtec]

I have some H&R race springs to sell.

[ThatA4T]

I'm definitely the stiffest right now

[NeedingAnAudi]

God damn you really know how to pick a thread name.

I'm going with H&R, since my ST's are bouncy as f*ck

idk if you can see this but every bump i hit the car bounces multiple times. I want h&r ultra lows at this point. Sick of the bounce, but I love 22 1/4

beastie boys yeeeeee

[10kredline2]

I'm super duper stiff when I visit spankwire.com....lol

[silvermannn]

I cant see... :'(


I want to know how to get stiffer springs for my PSS9s

Good luck getting it as stiff as you can handle!

Www.hypercoil.com
Best race springs on the market. That's how I upgraded my coils on my b5.
My dad runs them in his race car and so do I.
They make springs for everything.
Now get the thing stiff

James i'd keep the STs. you felt how my car drove. its pretty stiff.

Bouncy-ness isn't related to the spring as much as the fact that your dampers are not doing their job...

In fact, the harder your springs, they more the car should bounce back upward after compression. It's the shock absorber's job to control that.

But 90% of the guys with lowered a4 are on budget coils. Aka preset dampers
But you are correct damper and rebound settings make the ride

I have to agree. The rides been terrible for me also.

[DeathKing]

Apparently Raceland coils are the stiffest...I'm debating them.

[ray4624]

^^and the most garbage coils you can buy. youre better off with just springs in that case

you by chance have part numbers for the ones to use on a4 coilovers?

[silvermannn]

How exactly do spring rates and shock dampening effect each other? For example: The stiffer the spring the more dampening you'll need to avoid bounce?

I'm a little lost on it.

[MarcMiller]

My STs are pretty stiff. They dont bounce like Alex's at all.

[James Himself]

i liked some of these responses heres my situation, i just bought ST's, and i have a set of h&r race springs as well. right now theyre on my vmaxx struts. i want to see if i can make them any better than they already are before i install them. and the race springs on hand make it very cost effective

I'm almost certain it's because you are a 2.8 and the dampening and spring rates are better suited to that weight. N-Brod told me his ST's rode fine also.

Maybe I missed it but what I was looking for is not in there....

[Seerlah]

I am running with the first version of the ST coilovers, where they had different spring rates for the 1.8t and 2.8/S4 engine. I opted for the B5 S4 sedan units. A couple of is 1.8T B5 A4 guys did that. My front spring rate is 690 lbs/in and the rears are progressive. No bounce and the ride is not bad at all. Of course, weight and heavy dips in the road at higher speed changes everything. These units never had helper springs, and I have noticed people don't like the revised units that ST now sells. I also have a lifetime warranty on mine.

For Silverman
The higher stiffer spring rate needs a stiffer rebound damper , rebound damper is the force holding the spring in place as it expands...

All struts coil overs unless damper adjustable have preset stiffness, we all **** ourselfs when we dump are cars pull helper springs. Run them on the lowest possible thread.
When you adjust your coil overs, your messing with the springs preload. Preload is good.

I'm pulling my car apart next week to finish Rwd conversion. I can grab part numbers than. I'm on 600lb rears and 900lb fronts or so first set I bought I was way wrong f/r were over 1000lbs each car felt like ****

I'm almost certain it's because you are a 2.8 and the dampening and spring rates are better suited to that weight. N-Brod told me his ST's rode fine also.

My ST's are also fine. If you want them stiffer try getting the ST S4 springs. At least the early version (possibly all of them) are not progressive in the rear.

I have the new style ones unfortunately, which are the same part number for 1.8t 2.8 and 2.7. Idk I'm looking into custom coils now specifically for riding very low. I mean, I am a fabricator.

Oh yeah do you take mail order. I would be at your door weekly of you where local.
I have a 200$ paper weight from last fab guy I used ****ing assclown. Wouldn't even make it right

I'm looking to sell my h&r race springs for $150. I'm making a Thread now, hmu

[alexandermjoyce]
