now for my next question.................As im changing my suspension via a coilover conversion kit,i have a choice of what poundage springs i can use.....Thing is i havent got a clue what id need.If anyone could give me an idea of what poundage spring i would need going on my description
it would be very very helpful

IT IS A MK1 fiesta with and rst lump in it,so will be a tad heavier on the front end compared to standard so will obviously need harder springs on the front????????????????

I doubt i will be taking it on the track.......Road use only......but would still like the handling spot on

It will have a very low stance

I will also want it quite firm on the rear to counteract FRONT END lift.

hope im not asking for too much....lol
i know coilovers have higher pound because the springs are more compressed and smaller diameter.......and help would be great

 

anyone??????

 

I use AVO COILOVERS on my cossie and have found AVO to be extrememly helpful, they told me the poundage of the springs without hesitation, I know a lot of people try to keep this to themselves.
Coilovers do generally have higher poundages but this is NOT NECESSARLY due to being more compressed, you can get lower poundages as well as well as a choice of lengths, they are higher because they have to arrest(stop) the same weight in a shorter distance.
The diametre is immaterial, and is more a consideration of unsprung weight and clearance issues.
