There is a site somewhere on the web which has a table with a direct corrolation between torsion bar diameter and spring rate at the coil-over...

Hope this helps!

Hello Rich,

Why is there a need to conver to coilovers for the rear?

I kinda want to do so myself so I'm looking for reasons. So far, I've thought that :

Cooler look.
Easier adjustment of height.

Please add on to the list. Thanks!

Alvin.
