Using Honda springs for coil overs

[roman]

The AE86 TRD springs are 8kgmm front and 6kgmm rear arent they?

I put this in the 'track related' section because there's not much point in running coilovers on a street only car, experimenting with spring rates is the main benefit of coilovers that I can see, I would presume that most track oriented cars run suspension about that rate.

It seems counter intuitive to not want to experiment with spring rates because they're expensive to swap, when its the main benefit of having an adjustable spring perch. So yeah, the poiint is that it costs next to nothing for these springs, so even if experimenting until getting some 'proper' ones, you can calculate the spring rate to know what you need or what you want.

It's not that I'm ranting to justify the use of cut springs, so much as that a lot of people are plainly against it when its not unreasonable to do so, if you know how it affects your spring.

Generally the spring seats against a flat surface at one end, and a tapered spring perch at the other, where it's of no consequence if the end of your spring is cut.
