SPL rear titanium mid links, springs???

John11 · 10-06-2014, 10:40 AM

I installed the 6" springs and got the drop I was looking for and everything is sturdy and rides great! I really like this set up!

Installed 8" springs that I already had but will switch to 6".

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm considering the SPL midlinks and I'm trying to determine the best springs to pair with the NISMO S-Tune struts/springs. I'm thinking 7" Swift Race Springs, either 9 or 10kgf/mm spring rate. What have others gone with?

Thanks!

Actually I'm just wondering the actual difference with handling etc between mid-link and standard set up?

Anyone throw me a bone?

Cheers

Suspension geometry doesn't change from stock. The advantages are that you can use more readily available 2.5" ID springs, adjust ride height (could help handling), and can adjust camber and toe with a more robust adjustment than just toe bolts.

I run them on my autox car only because the rules for my class don't allow for running a true coilover in the rear.

Cheers for that,

Bump for a problem.

I just installed mine. When I go into any driveway I 3 wheel essentially, and you can hear the spring "pop" like it's going to pop out.

This normal?

Late to the party but i dont see how to stop it. Mine stopped getting loose over time. Maybe after a lot of autox. It gets loose because the suspensions unloaded. Only way i can think to fix is 1. Jack the car way up so the spring is always loaded when the cars off the ground but good luck with the 4x4 look or 2. Get a rear shock to keep preload on the spring when off the ground. True coils FTW

Oh, and how much of a bitch is it for you guys to move the perch up and down with load? (Hell, even without the load of the car, just the "preload")

DEpointfive0 · 02-09-2016, 01:01 AM

7" spring. 8k

I'm going out on a limb here. No. Wish I could be of more help

gomer_110 · 02-09-2016, 10:29 AM

When I installed mine I had the pop the first time I tried pulling out of my driveway. Scared the sh!t out of me. After that it never happened again. All I could ever figure was one of the springs wasn't seated properly on the top mounting surface. Maybe try rotating the springs 90°. Also, does disconnecting the rear sway bar help at all?

As far as adjustment goes there's no way in hell I can move the perch without removing the spring but then again I'm also running 900 lb/in springs on mine. I would think with a softer spring and the rear of the car off the ground you should be able to adjust them though.
