"Quickstrut" Springrate is 142 lbs/in

[Ground Rat]

Hey Guys, the Monroe Quickstrut Spring rate is 142 lbs/in. I contacted Tenneco Automotive directly and that was their response. I live in Louisiana and considering using them since our roads are harsh and I have an ATX. Will this be enough spring rate for normal use? One day I hope to move to mountains with an MTX,koni's and eibachs and Row that gearbox for some serious fun(like I do on my sportbike).

Cheers,

Well is that for the front or rear?

Either way, thanks for the heads up. Maybe these are a decent setup.

Click here to visit my MOOG CC page, it has spring rates an a whole lot more:

EDIT:
Interesting Kenny, the spring rate info I got a few years ago is different from what you have listed. Hmmm.

Are these struts sold as a pair or individually?

They're sold individually. You can get them on rockauto for $140 sometihng a piece. I had them on the rear of my SHO and I loved them. I sold it before i got the fronts on.

I have a full set on my '90. They are not bad at all but they are definitely not a performance spring.
