rear shocks

[mikester]

So...which are the softest rear shocks?

I don't AX this car, it's a daily drive and right now I have the KYB rears (Kill your back as scott put it). So, which are the softies?

I just ordered some new stock rear springs to put in next weekend...

thanks guys

i have bilsteins in the rear and koni adjustables up front. Koni's on full soft are nice and cushy, bilsteins are a notch up from there on the comfort scale.

Boges are OEM, and probably about as soft as you'll find in a big name.

What are you doing with the springs you are replacing? What are they?

[mikester]

I don't know what they are - any particular way I can tell?

[Zeke]

Yes: http://www.bluecoilspring.com/rate2.htm

[mikester]

When I get them off, I'll do the measurements.

[mikester]

Zeke, I'll be measuring those coils tomorrow.

[Zeke]

cool, sent you mail.

[mikester]

I know it's been a while but I've been in the process of buying and selling a house - not much time to get out to look at the old springs.

The diameter of the coil is 4" (ish).

I'll let you do the math.

[Scrappy]

Ah, ya forgot a couple of the necessary numbers Wrong Way -

[Zeke]

Yep, need no. of coils and dia.

[mikester]

Sorry, wasn't thinkin there...

The umber of active coils is 10. The diameter of the wire looks like it's like ~3/8"

I'm lame.

[Zeke]

Stock springs. Anything up there in poundage has 1/2 wire.
