FK SILVERLINE X PLUS question... (vendors chime in?)

jeho · 12-02-2008, 05:06 PM

Im looking for the spring rates for the front and rear for the FK Silverline Plus X coilovers...

Can any vendors answer this?
Are the fronts 70NM? Rears?

Thanks

Fronts 70nm and the rears are progressive. Im trying to find the range of progression from FK. Will post asap.

Gen_E92 · 12-02-2008, 08:41 PM

can the rear springs be upgraded to linear as well?

Well, the conversion of N*m to Inch-Lbs is accurate, but the stated rating on the springs may be off.

It could certainly be off this was a quick reply we recieved from FK sorry we don't have a more detailed response!!

is it possible to get more detailed information?

Craig@SupremePower · 12-15-2008, 05:54 PM

We are certainly trying to but we deal with a few different suspension companies and spring rates and such are just not readily available!

bump! come on we didn't just get these coilovers so we could slam our cars

Craig@SupremePower · 01-18-2009, 01:04 PM

If I had an answer for you it would be posted, FK hasn't gotten back to us with this information. Also I have yet to see it posted anywhere by KW or a few other companies that offer coilovers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm blaming you at all since you're just a vendor. I just emailed FK myself, but looks like they won't give a crap.

The spring rate for most company like KW, Bilstein, Tein, has been posted by third party, its just nobody has any info on the FK, and that's exactly what's holding me back.

Craig@SupremePower · 01-18-2009, 01:16 PM

Understood, i'll shoot them another email hopefully we can get somewhere for ya...
