barbarism

I'm running 500/600 and it's fairly stiff but I could see going up another notch.

lbs will not make the car tail happy...at least according to Paul, he said these cars take a lot of rate in the back to make them genuinely tail happy.

I'm also going to raise mine up a bit...not sure I can stomach 0.5" but my better sense tells me that wouldn't be half bad. I'm at 25.25" right now...I'm going to wrench it up to about 25 and 6/8ths or 1/8" higher than the 25.5" they recommend as the lowest setting. I can't bring myself to put the car at 26" I had it at 26" and while it rode nicely...it just looked silly :-( I need to cut my fender liners too...the tire likes to rub the liner if you hit bumps mid turn etc. You do any of that Jyoteen? Fender liner cutting...or fender rolling? I won't roll the fender...since I don't hit the fender, plus it's against my religion ;-) But cutting a $30 liner I don't mind so much...though I'm worried about **** getting in there after I cut it :-( *sigh*

I think I've already got used with the stiffness after 5 days of driving, it's doesn't really bothers me as much, unless driving on some really really crappy road. I've done some research on the forum before I decided the spring rate, most people start with 600/700 but still would like to go a little bit stiffer, that's why I got 700/800.
I haven't rode in other Stasis S4 before, so I can't tell how it feel when there're 100lb of difference. maybe jyoteen will know?

James R.

which is a good ~250 lbs lighter up front than your S4 and I find it totally comfortable. So 600/700 would probably feel fine...even higher like Polar has would probably still ride OK, though IMHO I start to wonder about ease of bending wheels...and putting the hurt on the chassis.

Though looking at the spring rate directly is a bit misleading in terms of how nasty things really are. An 800 lbs spring translates into only 560 lbs wheel rate...soooo not horrible, but still pretty hard on wheels and such.

BTW - If your curious about the stagger...it's because I have a 19mm rear ARB on hard, Paul suggested the 50 lbs stagger given the bar. I'm giving serious consideration to leaving in the neuspeed brackets...tossing back in the stock bar, keep my Cust Perf alum uplinks and move up to 600 lbs/inch in the rear.

My tires don't hit the liner or the fender for that matter, even at full compression. I had to do it for track worthiness, as I've gotten FULL compression before and want to avoid such touchy/feely things going on.

It's not bad. It still looks low. I can measure mine tomorrow and email you the measurements.

I talked to Paul last week and he pretty much don't suggest to put swaybar with the stasis coilover.

Paul's the man, but go with the sway - reduce the back by 100#
