I have heard from some people that the R1 springs are stiffer than the base our touring model springs for the same year, '93. Is this true? Some sources I've read say all the springs are exactly the same for all '93 models and that the R1 just had stiffer shocks.

 

the bast way is to look it up in the parts fische. www.iluvmyrx7.com has the parts fische online. off the top i cant remember, i'm thinking no

its the latter..

same spring rates throughout models..difference are in the struts...

of which r1s are stiffer

 

 

Thanks for confirming that for me guys! Some autocrosser I race with was trying to convince me that the "R1 springs" are the one to have. I said I had heard that they are the same in all '93 models. Guess I was right.



Thanks for your help!

 

how about the ride heights? my base sits high like a truck!

 

anybody?

 

i think thats because of the way they have the springs preloaded. if you take the strut to full extension with the stock springs there is still tension on it, if you do the same with aftermarket springs there isnt

all the r1's i saw don't sit like my car! so i guess the spring seat is lower on the R1 models?
