    Hi Guys,

    Anyone know the stock DC2R spring rates.

    To convert from kg/mm to lb/in multiply by 56. To go the other way divide.

    Eg. 24kg/mm = 24*56 = 1344 lb/in

    Imagine them going over some train tracks, you'd probably do a 360.

    Thanks fellas.. going by what tank has posted we're talking about 4.5kg/mm for front and back!

    I always thought the fronts would be stiffer?

    I currently have kg/mm springs in my car and they are 6.5kg/mm front and 3.3kg/mm in the rear.
