Re: new coilover opportunity (March, 2010)
Its not quite a fair comparison to look at how a stock Evo damper is going to handle a spring that is 35% stiffer than stock especially because the stock Evo KYB strut is not such a great strut.
Anyhow, the stock SVX spring rates are 140 lbs/in in the front and 110 lbs/in in the rear. They are amazingly soft. I think the only reason the SVX doesn't bottom out on every bump is because it has so much wheel travel. Considering that the SVX weighs ~400 lbs more than an Evo, a 275 lb/in spring isn't so heavy, and a proper rebound setting should make them ride on the firm side but cleanly.
350 whp with mild mods is definitely good on a DD dyno.
