Anyone running DIY Coilovers?
Hi,

Is anyone running DIY coilovers? What's your spec?

I'm planning to buid mine and until now the choices i made are the following:
- TRD shocks front and rear (48511-AE881 & 48531-AE881), 188 mm stroke
- Eibach Springs 39 N/mm or 44 N/mm, 8" (203 mm) or 9" (228 mm) long, 57 mm ID (2,25")
- Helper springs

It's about the springs that i have some doubts because i can only use 39 N/mm rate with 8" long (or 44 N/mm). With 9" long i can only use 44 N/mm rate.

Are 8" length springs long enough or should i go to 9" with 44 N/mm (Frequency will go higher of course)?

Thank you for your help.

Keeping the AE86 alive!
