2013 AWD Idea: AWD Lowering with RS-R front and stock RWD spring R
Hey there,
This thought has been running through my head, just hear me out and share what you think.
So 2013 AWD Lux,
Use RS-R Down front AWD lowering spring which has a spring rate of 5.15 kg/mm
And stock RWD springs are unknown (I couldn't locate a thread with numbers on RWD), though we can infer (guess, really) with Tanabe's claim of a 5% over stock spring rate increase that OEM would be in the 6.2-6.4 kg/mm range. This is only half the subject as coil height is a factor.
But, could it work as a mild lowering solution with a smidge of natural forward rake? I am thinking about this because reviews and specs of RS-R Down AWD T-176D springs frequently complain about the rear being way too stiff. When I view stock RWD cars, I see nothing wrong with the rear suspension height, especially compared with AWD stock.
Thoughts?
