Who has Stasis MotorSports and what are your Spring Rates

Fat Dave's S4 · 05-23-2006, 05:21 PM

I'm going to have Stasis MotorSport installed and would like some input on spring rates. I only track 2 or 3 times a year. I have Koni & H&R (600f & 700r) now. On the track it is great but on the street hitting a potholes will make the fillings fall out of your teeth.

You will find that the Ohlins are much more adjustable and can still run stiffer springs without "knocking your fillings out".

In my opinion, the trick is to get the better spring rates for the range of adjustment you usually want to run. If you normally want to run stiff settings then get stiffer springs. If you are going to spend most of your time cruising with softer settings then go a bit softer. The adjustability of the Ohlins will still allow you to change those setting for special occasions.

With these dampers, it's still insanely smooth, no problem losing fillings! Still, I'm considering going to 700/800 for a more relaxed daily driver.

For me "considering" is like a vendor's "two weeks", fwiw.

The 750/850 feels like I am riding on air. Its such a comfortable setup. When I stiffen up for spirted driving it feels great but I think to soft for me. I had 800/1000 on koni motorsports talking about knocking out your fillings.
