    MK Motorsport Springs

    I am curious if anyone has tried and know the spring rates of MKs.

    I've never personally measured the MK Motorsport springs.
    They have been installed by members of the E31 community.

    However, if I get the physical dimensions: wire diameter, coil diameter and number of coils the spring rates are easy to calculate and compare with the other E31 springs.
    What remains is the ride height and that can be deduced from the manufacture specification and other that have installed those springs.

    I grabbed a set of MK springs form a junk e31. I sold them to a friend who frequents this board so I will ask him to chime in with values.
    I swear, my cars are like a girlfriend.
    Sometimes its a rough ride, sometimes its smooth motorin'.
    Sometimes she doesnt like how i treat her and sometimes i dont like how she behaves.
    BUT at the end of the day, she loves it when I am inside her.
