Spring rates

Post by BiggestNizzy » Thu Jun 25, 2009 1:28 pm

I need a pair of rear bilstein dampers for the elise.

I know it is the S2 for S1 kit that is on the car. But I heard somewhere that it uses stiffer springs than the S2.

is this correct ? before I go splashing the cash on the wrong bits.

Only on the front. Rear are standard rates.

Some of the kits use VX220 springs on the front.
