righto, ive got a fk/ spax suspension setup on my corsa (stripped out)
but whenever diving on the slightest uneven road, the rear springs rattle about like fu(k.....
sounds like the cars falling apart...
ive raised th springs to approx 60mm (over the 80mm lowest drop)
but still it continues..
what rear suspension is recommended?

so dave, ive spoke to harry hockley today and wizard tuning.... the wouldnt recommend more than 150lb rear springs alongside something like a bilstein b8 damper...
how did you get the 200lb 6.5" spring figures?

i thought it was a combination of the feul pump cover rattling and my rear passenger side bearing that needed changing...but its the rear springs that rattle?

by using corner weights and testing different springs. 150lb will be far too soft for road use, thats as soft as standards. for rally use most people use a 190-200lb rear on tarmac and 160lb for rough terrain.
