6.3kg /mm ? Hard.

If my est is correct say 550kg static loading on the rear, with fuel, spare and my behind, so thats 275kg / corner.

Current captive spring 2.5" lower (3.04 kg/mm)
Deflection under load (est 275kg)= 90mm

New fix it all wonder coil 2.5" lower (3.6kg/mm)
Deflection under load (est 275kg)= 76mm

I'm not 100% sure, but i'll take the difference in deflection as the est difference in coil height. 14mm.

I'm guessing that if the coil is only short by 14mm (from being captive under full extension) and i've got the bump stops in place, they *shouldnt* pop out.

Thanks for your input ae86drift. I had already contacted kmac yesterday and they have told me that all i have to do is to specify a ride height and a spring rate, and they go from there. What ride height did you specify for your beast - just so i have an est to go on.

*time to waste more money on soft springs*
