Anyone know what spring rate the Eibachs are? Would be interesting to know how they compare to the stock parts. I have a mag article here that lists spring rates for the standard and Zetec suspension:
Front standard = 19-22N/mm
Rear standard = 23N/mm
Front Zetec = 21-25N/mm
Rear Zetec = 25N/mm
I reckon you could probably go 10% firmer easily without any dramas with the stock Zetec damping rates.
Not too sure if the front figures are a tolerance range or if there are different levels of base model front suspension in Europe for the different engine options.
