Isn’t that fairly high rate for a real coilover spring?

I am running 800F/400R…

The car is going to be a bit lose in the back with that setup…

Rear: Hypercoil 6" 700lb 2.25 diameter
Front: Hypercoil 6" 800 lb 2.25 diameter
2x 2.25" hypercoil helper springs / spring guide sets also.


It's hard for me to get a good frame of reference for the spring length.

Currently I have KW V3 and it is a little too low in the rear on the highest setting. Anyone have any advice on spring length or does 6" sound good?
