Does anyone know what the stock spring rates are for the M2? I'm considering putting together a new suspension setup for daily driving.
 
Hi,

They were posted on here somewhere. I couldn't find them when I looked.

Here is a copy of a post re the Bilstein rates, which are streetable although stiff. I don't know if the stock shocks can handle them:

"The Bilstein kit is 275/230, which nets out to somewhere in the 2.0/2.5 hz ride frequency range. So that's in the ballpark."

P.S. Found it but I can't copy and paste. Look in the "Problems with my FK lowering springs" post.

thanks - anyone else?

Thanks. I tried a search too. I'm really trying to find the stock rates. Gotta know where the car is at coming out from the factory before playing around. I'm a little strange, into rallycross, I don't want to lower the car.

BTW: Getting rid of the crap dampers, they are what makes me want to do something custom.
