My KVA "B" chassis came with 220lb front springs.
Its basicly a XJ6 front setup ( wishbone, brake & hub) using a single XJ rear shock each front side.
Rear setup is dual OEM coilovers each side as on XJ6 / 12 / E-type. ( yes, four shocks on the back.
Its a GAZ adjustable coil over using a 2.25", 10" lenght spring.
Spring rating is 220lb which is to soft.. front sits on the ground with just 3cm ground clearance
If I pre-load the spring 2" it gives me the proper ride heigth., 10cm ground clearance up front fully loaded car,
So I need stiffer springs. But what rate?
With preload I indeed mean I compress the spring in its seat using the adjustable cups.
With a free (unsprung) adjustable cups are on the end so there's never a free play of the spring.
Thanks in advance
Did test it using ten 25kg cement bags to simulate two full gas tanks & two 80 kg persons in the car.
