I need someone smarter than me to help me with coil selection.
Where I am
Stock weight(ish) 97
Currently running TJM 50mm progressive 110kg + rear coils and stock weight progressive 50 mm fronts.
Want
2 inches settled rear lift with load, 2.5 without
2 inches settled front lift
Decent unladen ride
ideally something that allows for flex without the springs popping out (ICON VS2.0 long shocks)
Need
No higher than 2.5 unladen anywhere (Or I can't drive into my garage)
Im looking at Dobinson coils to try something new and I hear they are very good.
Here is what I have so far
The guy at dobinson said the 220v front would only net me 1.5 inches with my weight, but the 222v is for bumpers and added front weight so it might be too stiff/too tall. The 234 is "comfort" linear but again may be too short.
I've heard Dobinsons lift MORE than advertised, but he said they should net slightly less.
I like my front coils which are
Free Height 515-525mm progressive medium duty load (no rate given, but 16.5 wire diameter.
I know the 220V are in stock, I think the 222v are in stock, but I don't think I can get the 234 in the time frame I need.
I realize there are 100 different variables, but I wanted to check to see who was running dobinson coils and what your real life experiences are with them. Also if anyone has any insights into this dilemma based on their experiences.
