Aging springs?

[lutera]

Haven't seen anyone discuss this. Do you think OE springs would go soft after 15-16 years and over 75K miles ?

No.

As Ken typed that unusaly short reply he was probably prepared to tell you that the shocks(if original) were the cause, if your susp. feels: soft, or unprecise, or floaty.

Yes my car has OE (91) springs on Bilsteins (lower perch). I'm interested in linear rate springs which may better match the Bilsteins (and may be lower a tad bit more :wink: )

Your stock springs are probably still good like nsxtasy said.

I have Tein S-Tech springs, they are 20% stiffer than stock and are also linear. Tanabe and Zanardi springs may also offer what you are looking for. The Tanabes lower more than I wanted to go however. The last two springs are going to be at the upper end of the stock Bilstein valving.
