If you still have the OE Sports on hand, would you be able to measure the wire thickness, and the overall diameter of the front and rear springs? I'm trying to approximate the rates relative to stock to validate H&R's "10% stiffer" claim.Suspension work 4/9-4/10. Hand washed engine bay on 4/9. Hood, too. She was shamefully dirty. Our little Stormtrooper Mopar killer deserves the best pampering.
H&R OE Sport springs went bye bye. I loved those for what they were: an excellent street spring for OE dampers.
S3 springs went on.
PSB Track Day Spec pads went on for trial purposes and track use.
I’m documenting their performance in a separate thread over in the Tracking/Auto-x forum. I’ll link it here if I remember to.
Note the mandatory GTI coffee tumbler filled with Dad Fuel. ️
They sold a while ago. Sorry!If you still have the OE Sports on hand, would you be able to measure the wire thickness, and the overall diameter of the front and rear springs? I'm trying to approximate the rates relative to stock to validate H&R's "10% stiffer" claim.
Thanks for replying. I wish H&R would be more forthcoming with their rates. I'm always skeptical of claims of "about x% stiffer" from vendors and owners alike. Often, the rates are actually softer than stock, although I have found this is more common with linear springs than progressives.They sold a while ago. Sorry!
10% stiffer is believable, but you never feel it. They do great with the Koni and OE dampers (DCC included).
Bilsteins not so much…
