Tim and Dot Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Having purchased a set of AVO Dampers, I have started to fit them only to find the springs could do with replacing as well. What spring rates front and rear would be best for fast road/touring use on a k series roadsport ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter clarke Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 little bit scant on information. Lots of recommendations in the archives. I only use mine on the road now, 1.6 K series with approx 180 bhp, 13inch wheels with 185 60 front and 205 60 rear. use arb front and rear. Was on 225 lb inch front and 140 rear with Nitrons. Now use the original 3 stage Caterham springs-I think 100, 130, 200 lb inch from memory-on the rear and this I find good on the road. Gives some degree of comfort but still handles well on the road. I really need to change the valve setting of the dampers for road rather than track but have not been back to UK for a while to have this done. Tried the Caterham 21 progressive springs but found them too hard for touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Owen Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Progressive working well for me 😬 Front: 100-275lb Rear: 70-200lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
