New Springs
Hi Guys,
I'm converting my MK from pinto power to BEC and I believe I need to change the front springs for something a bit softer. Currently the
springs on the car are the standard one provided by MK, so I've no idea what they are, any suggestion on what I need to change them to?
Cheers
Scott

Those ones you get in a Parker pen should do the job I reckon
OK, I'll get my coat

IIRC I've got 350lbs front and 200lbs rear if that helps. I'm running a 2l Pinto on a McSolrey +442 Locost. So I'm guessing
it'll be quite a lot less on the front.

i think you will need somewhere around 275 front and either your original rears or 175.
I would change the fronts and see how it feels.
A pint for the gent and a white wine/fruit based drink for the lady. Those are the rules
