Coilover question?

Heeley · 10-07-2009, 10:57 AM

Does anyone know the spring rates for a '93 R1? I've seen rates posted around for the base / touring model, but I haven't seen results from anyone that's dyno'd an R1 spring/damper setup. This is just for reference, so I can have an idea of how much harder i'm going to be going.

wow, i haven't checked in for a while, but i'm glad I did.. good to see the coilover debate still going. I'm looking at replacing mine in the spring, so i'm looking around now at prices. First thing's first though... all bushings and pillowballs. I'm getting tired of the clunks!

I thought the R1 difference was in the shocks and the springs were the same? I could be wrong though, but Mazdatrix only lists the one stock spring choice for the 93.
