Just trying to sort out the rear suspension on my car.
What spring weight are available for the FK kit? Having seen how compressed the spring are with the car up on a ramp I'm looking at getting either some heavier springs or some custom ones made up.
Any info appreciated.
Cheers James

Cheers Jimbo,
By coilover style conversion, do you mean just the adjustable platform? If so I've already got that.
I think I've heard it was available with different spring rates? If they do one that's anywhere near what I'm after then I'd try to find a set, if not I'll get some made up.

Think the easiest thing will be to get some custom springs made up to fit with the exact spring weight I'm after for the rear.
Fronts seem fine, if they're not up to the task I'll have to work something out.

cheers for the advice jimbo, i'll give them a go and see what happens.
Are there any other coilovers available for the narrower 16v uprights or would it be a case of rebuilding the front end with turbo parts?

In the end I think the only thing to do will be to take the car to somewhere like Gaz (if they're willing!) and get them to adapt a kit to fit the weight and characteristics of the car.
I'm currently doing a bit of digging into how proper Integrales are set up and comparing that with the Coupe.
For now the FKs will have to stay upfront, and I'll just be sorting out the rear end - other things that need the money.
