Title: TTE Springs V Eibach Which are progressive?
Post by: markiii on January 8, 2006, 23:57

Guys,

Over the eyars there have been many discussione regarding this, and so I decided it was worth getting a definative answer;

I have phoned Eibach, and confirmed that they are Linear Springs. I'll post the spring rates as soon as I can find my notes.

Next I contacted TTE to get teh specs of their springs

And was told;

MR2 (W3) springs are linear both front and rear. Spring rate FR C=17N/mm, RR C=27,5N/mm

So there you have it, I'm not sure why we started beleiving that one was linear and teh other progressive but it seems both are linear.

I thought that the TTE springs are made by Eibach! Hmmm....

I wouldn't be surprised if their numbers match TTEs'.

Mark, haven't yet got my TTE from James, so no joy yet on your photo request. Perhaps you can ask him since its taking him a bit of time to wrap them all up s:cry: :cry: s:cry:
