Fallguz,
The important bit in your remark is that you have 3kg springs. Its not the lenght of the springs per see thats the problem, its that with such high spring rates such as 6kg they are much shorter when not under load. That means that when your car gets lifted off the ground, the springs do not fill the room that is created. Robokill, don't forget you live in Holland, where we pay loads of tax so roads can get new tarmac every month causing many many traffic jams. So: A) the roads are smooth B) you can't drive fast on roads that aren't smooth because of road works The situation in which your car jumps and causes the springs to come loose in a way that causes dangers, doesn't happen. Apardal, yes with 6kg front 4.7kg rear you need short strokes if you do not want the springs to come loose. Just like Robo I've driven with long stroke front springs, also 6kg for many many months without problems, aslong as your wheels do not loose touch with the ground, there is no danger and even if they do come loose, springs don't go wrong that quickly. At the rear I still have long strokes and I have 4.5kg springs and they also come loose. But again, I never have problems with it allthough I do expect taking a larger jump could get me into serious problems. Again though, I don't do jumps with my car
